Essentially the valuation safeguards the lender by confirming value and drawing attention to critical defects alone.
Securing a personal survey remains wise even when a lender valuation has already been completed.
Under the present RICS system buyers can choose from three survey levels suited to different dwellings and individual circumstances.
Level One offers a concise Condition Report that rates elements of the property with an easy-to-understand traffic-light system. Buyers of typical modern or well-kept houses may find Level One sufficient though it contains neither repair advice nor 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.
Level Three known as the Building Survey represents the fullest examination and suits older expansive or non-traditional dwellings. 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. Because the valuation is commissioned by the lender its focus remains the security of the advance rather than the buyer’s wider concerns. Many buyers mistakenly believe the lender valuation is sufficient for their own protection yet it often contains only limited information.
Independent reports can highlight defects with implications for comfort ongoing expense or the buyer’s ultimate choice to continue. Survey costs vary according to the level chosen the size and location of the property and the fee structure of the surveying firm. The basic Level One option is usually cheapest and the comprehensive Level Three service is more costly owing to the additional inspection time. 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. Findings of substantial concern can form the basis for price discussions or for conditions that the seller must remedy the defects. There are instances in which survey findings prompt the buyer to walk away from the deal.
Proper choice of survey level and diligent use of the report can prevent both financial shocks and the frustration of discovering issues too late. In the end commissioning a qualified survey offers buyers valuable reassurance throughout the UK home-purchase process.
