Lenders use the valuation to confirm adequate security for the mortgage and to identify only the most serious concerns affecting worth.
Buyers are strongly advised to commission their own independent survey in addition to any lender valuation.
The RICS Home Survey framework currently offers three distinct levels tailored to varying property characteristics and purchaser requirements.
Level One offers a concise Condition Report that rates elements of the property with an easy-to-understand traffic-light system. It is best suited to conventional properties in good condition and does not include advice on repairs or a valuation.
For the bulk of residential transactions the Level Two HomeBuyer Report is selected by buyers seeking balanced information. Level Two provides a more detailed inspection than Level One and supplies recommendations on defects along with valuation and reinstatement figures. The report continues to employ the traffic-light approach but adds more detailed remarks that help buyers interpret the results.
Buyers considering aged substantial or unconventional properties are usually directed towards the Level Three Building Survey. The report is based on an exhaustive inspection and delivers substantial advice covering defects the required repairs and long-term maintenance.
A market valuation is not automatically supplied yet the surveyor can provide one upon specific instruction. Lenders customarily commission a valuation as a precondition of releasing the mortgage monies. The report is instructed by the mortgage provider and exists first and foremost to safeguard the lending institution. The limited scope of most lender valuations means they rarely give purchasers the comprehensive picture they require.
A survey arranged by the purchaser may uncover problems capable of influencing daily life anticipated expenditure or the willingness to complete. How much a buyer pays depends on the level of report the characteristics of the property and the surveyor’s pricing approach. Pricing rises from the inexpensive Level One through to the higher-cost Level Three reflecting the increased professional input. A preliminary conversation allows the surveyor to suggest the tier that suits the particular property and the client’s concerns.
When the survey arrives the buyer needs to study the content and request further detail on any aspect that is not fully understood. Findings of substantial concern can form the basis for price discussions or for conditions that the seller must remedy the defects. On occasion the information contained in the report is sufficient to persuade the purchaser to abandon the transaction.
Proper choice of survey level and diligent use of the report can prevent both financial shocks and the frustration of discovering issues too late. Ultimately a professional survey remains one of the most effective ways to gain peace of mind when buying a property in the United Kingdom.
