Essentially the valuation safeguards the lender by confirming value and drawing attention to critical defects alone.
Buyers are strongly advised to commission their own independent survey in addition to any lender valuation.
The recognised RICS Home Survey range comprises three tiers each matched to particular property profiles and buyer priorities.
A Level One Condition Report gives buyers a high-level view of condition employing a clear red amber green classification. This level works well for standard homes that appear well maintained and omits both repair recommendations and any valuation figure.
Level Two commonly called the HomeBuyer Report attracts the greatest number of instructions from private purchasers. The Level Two report investigates further than the entry-level option and incorporates defect advice a valuation and the cost of reinstatement. The familiar colour-coded ratings appear yet the accompanying text is fuller enabling purchasers to grasp the significance of each mark.
Level Three known as the Building Survey represents the fullest examination and suits older expansive or non-traditional dwellings. A full structural and fabric inspection is carried out resulting in detailed counsel on identified issues necessary repairs and future maintenance.
No valuation is included as standard although one can be added if the client requests it. Funds are rarely released until the lender has obtained and reviewed its own valuation report. The report is instructed by the mortgage provider and exists first and foremost to safeguard the lending institution. Many buyers mistakenly believe the lender valuation is sufficient for their own protection yet it often contains only limited information.
A survey arranged by the purchaser may uncover problems capable of influencing daily life anticipated expenditure or the willingness to complete. How much a buyer pays depends on the level of report the characteristics of the property and the surveyor’s pricing approach. The basic Level One option is usually cheapest and the comprehensive Level Three service is more costly owing to the additional inspection time. Discussing the property in advance enables the surveyor to recommend the survey depth that will prove most useful.
Buyers are encouraged to scrutinise the findings and obtain clarification wherever the meaning or implications are uncertain. Significant problems can justify a request for a price reduction or for the vendor to carry out repairs prior to exchange of contracts. 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. In the end commissioning a qualified survey offers buyers valuable reassurance throughout the UK home-purchase process.
