Its main purpose is to verify the property’s market value for the loan while noting only significant defects that might influence that figure.
Purchasers should arrange a separate professional survey beyond the one ordered by the mortgage provider.
Three main levels of RICS Home Survey currently exist and each is designed for different property types and buyer needs.
The Condition Report at Level One delivers an elementary summary of the dwelling’s state through a straightforward colour-coded rating. This level works well for standard homes that appear well maintained and omits both repair recommendations and any valuation figure.
The HomeBuyer Report at Level Two continues to be the preferred option for most people buying a house or flat. The Level Two report investigates further than the entry-level option and incorporates defect advice a valuation and the cost of reinstatement. Surveyors use the same traffic-light system but expand the commentary so buyers understand the implications of each rating.
Level Three the Building Survey is the most comprehensive option and is recommended for older larger or non-standard properties. It involves a detailed inspection of the structure and fabric and provides extensive advice on defects repairs and maintenance.
No valuation is included as standard although one can be added if the client requests it. Mortgage lenders almost always require their own valuation report before they will release funds. The lender’s valuation serves the bank or building society by confirming that the property offers adequate collateral. It is a common error to rely solely on the lender’s report since the level of detail is typically modest.
Problems that affect occupation future spending or the decision to buy are more likely to surface in a survey ordered by the purchaser. The price of a survey is influenced by the chosen level the property’s scale and position and the rates applied by the surveyor. Condition Reports at Level One tend to be the most affordable whereas Building Surveys at Level Three attract higher charges because of the extra work required. Surveyors commonly speak with the buyer in advance in order to advise on the survey level best matched to the dwelling.
Careful reading of the completed report followed by questions on unclear sections helps the buyer make full use of the information. Significant problems can justify a request for a price reduction or for the vendor to carry out repairs prior to exchange of contracts. There are instances in which survey findings prompt the buyer to walk away from the deal.
The right level of survey combined with careful attention to its conclusions helps avoid costly surprises and dissatisfaction after moving in. In the end commissioning a qualified survey offers buyers valuable reassurance throughout the UK home-purchase process.
