The report focuses on ensuring the collateral covers the advance and flags solely those problems likely to impact the valuation figure.
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.
A Level One Condition Report gives buyers a high-level view of condition employing a clear red amber green classification. Buyers of typical modern or well-kept houses may find Level One sufficient though it contains neither repair advice nor a valuation.
Level Two the HomeBuyer Report remains the most popular choice for the majority of residential purchases. The Level Two report investigates further than the entry-level option and incorporates defect advice a valuation and the cost of reinstatement. 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.
Clients who require a valuation alongside the Building Survey must request that additional service. A valuation ordered by the lender is a near-universal requirement for mortgage completion. 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. Fees differ depending on the survey tier selected the dimensions and situation of the dwelling and the charging policy of the practice. 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. 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. Findings of substantial concern can form the basis for price discussions or for conditions that the seller must remedy the defects. In some cases the survey results may lead a buyer to withdraw from the transaction entirely.
Proper choice of survey level and diligent use of the report can prevent both financial shocks and the frustration of discovering issues too late. For UK purchasers a well-chosen survey stands among the best methods of securing clarity and reducing risk before completion.
