The report focuses on ensuring the collateral covers the advance and flags solely those problems likely to impact the valuation figure.
Securing a personal survey remains wise even when a lender valuation has already been completed.
Three main levels of RICS Home Survey currently exist and each is designed for different property types and buyer needs.
Level One known as the Condition Report provides a basic overview of the property’s condition using a simple traffic-light rating system. The report is intended for conventional dwellings in reasonable repair and deliberately excludes advice on works or a formal valuation.
Level Two the HomeBuyer Report remains the most popular choice for the majority of residential purchases. This survey goes deeper than the basic Condition Report offering guidance on problems plus both a valuation and a rebuild cost for insurance. Surveyors retain the red amber green system while providing richer explanations that clarify the practical consequences of the findings.
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.
No valuation is included as standard although one can be added if the client requests it. A valuation ordered by the lender is a near-universal requirement for mortgage completion. Its purpose is to reassure the mortgagee that the property value supports the proposed loan. Many buyers mistakenly believe the lender valuation is sufficient for their own protection yet it often contains only limited information.
An independent survey commissioned by the buyer can reveal defects that might affect living conditions future costs or even the decision to proceed. Survey costs vary according to the level chosen the size and location of the property and the fee structure of the surveying firm. 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. Most surveyors will discuss the property with the client beforehand so that the most appropriate level can be recommended.
Once the report is received buyers should review the findings carefully and seek clarification on any points that remain unclear. Where serious defects appear the purchaser may attempt to renegotiate terms or require the vendor to address the problems before proceeding. Severe or unexpected defects revealed by the survey can result in the buyer terminating the process.
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.
