The report focuses on ensuring the collateral covers the advance and flags solely those problems likely to impact the valuation figure.
Buyers are strongly advised to commission their own independent survey in addition to any lender valuation.
Under the present RICS system buyers can choose from three survey levels suited to different dwellings and individual circumstances.
Level One known as the Condition Report provides a basic overview of the property’s condition using a simple traffic-light rating system. It is best suited to conventional properties in good condition and does not include advice on repairs or a valuation.
Level Two the HomeBuyer Report remains the most popular choice for the majority of residential purchases. Compared with Level One the HomeBuyer Report delivers greater scrutiny advice on remedial work a market value and an insurance rebuild estimate. Although the traffic-light ratings are retained the narrative is more extensive so that buyers can appreciate what each colour means in practice.
The Building Survey at Level Three offers the greatest depth of investigation and is advised for period complex or unusual buildings. The surveyor conducts a thorough examination of the building’s construction and supplies in-depth guidance on problems remedial works and upkeep.
The Building Survey does not contain a valuation by default although this element may be commissioned separately. Lenders customarily commission a valuation as a precondition of releasing the mortgage monies. Its purpose is to reassure the mortgagee that the property value supports the proposed loan. Buyers who treat the valuation as a full survey risk overlooking important condition issues that the report does not address.
Buyer-instructed surveys often identify issues that impact habitability projected outgoings or the overall viability of the purchase. Fees differ depending on the survey tier selected the dimensions and situation of the dwelling and the charging policy of the practice. Buyers pay less for a Level One report and more for a Level Three survey in line with the depth of investigation undertaken. Discussing the property in advance enables the surveyor to recommend the survey depth that will prove most useful.
When the survey arrives the buyer needs to study the content and request further detail on any aspect that is not fully understood. Serious defects may provide grounds for renegotiating the purchase price or requesting that the seller undertakes remedial work before exchange. In some cases the survey results may lead a buyer to withdraw from the transaction entirely.
Buyers who match the survey depth to the property and respond sensibly to the advice reduce the risk of expensive problems and disappointment. For UK purchasers a well-chosen survey stands among the best methods of securing clarity and reducing risk before completion.
