Three standardised RICS survey levels are available allowing selection according to the age complexity and condition of the property.
Level One offers a concise Condition Report that rates elements of the property with an easy-to-understand traffic-light system. The report is intended for conventional dwellings in reasonable repair and deliberately excludes advice on works or a formal valuation.

Buyers who treat the valuation as a full survey risk overlooking important condition issues that the report does not address.
Buyer-instructed surveys often identify issues that impact habitability projected outgoings or the overall viability of the purchase. Fees differ depending on the survey tier selected the dimensions and situation of the dwelling and the charging policy of the practice. Pricing rises from the inexpensive Level One through to the higher-cost Level Three reflecting the increased professional input. Before inspection most practitioners consult the purchaser so that the correct level of survey can be selected.
When the survey arrives the buyer needs to study the content and request further detail on any aspect that is not fully understood. 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. In some cases the survey results may lead a buyer to withdraw from the transaction entirely.
