Essentially the valuation safeguards the lender by confirming value and drawing attention to critical defects alone.
Independent advice through a buyer-commissioned survey is recommended alongside the mandatory mortgage valuation.
Three standardised RICS survey levels are available allowing selection according to the age complexity and condition of the property.
A Level One Condition Report gives buyers a high-level view of condition employing a clear red amber green classification. 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. Level Two provides a more detailed inspection than Level One and supplies recommendations on defects along with valuation and reinstatement figures. Surveyors use the same traffic-light system but expand the commentary so buyers understand the implications of each rating.
Buyers considering aged substantial or unconventional properties are usually directed towards the Level Three Building Survey. It involves a detailed inspection of the structure and fabric and provides extensive advice on defects repairs and maintenance.
The Building Survey does not contain a valuation by default although this element may be commissioned separately. Funds are rarely released until the lender has obtained and reviewed its own valuation report. This valuation is ordered by the lender and is primarily intended to protect the lender’s interests. Purchasers frequently assume the mortgage valuation will meet their needs however the content is usually restricted.
Problems that affect occupation future spending or the decision to buy are more likely to surface in a survey ordered by the purchaser. 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. A preliminary conversation allows the surveyor to suggest the tier that suits the particular property and the client’s concerns.
Careful reading of the completed report followed by questions on unclear sections helps the buyer make full use of the information. Major issues identified in the survey often allow the buyer to seek a lower price or to insist that necessary works are completed by the seller. Occasionally the contents of the report cause a purchaser to decide against completing the purchase.
Selecting an appropriate survey tier and acting on the results can protect purchasers from unforeseen costs and later regret. Ultimately a professional survey remains one of the most effective ways to gain peace of mind when buying a property in the United Kingdom.
