The valuation primarily confirms that the property is worth the amount being borrowed and highlights only major issues that could affect value.
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. Level One is appropriate for straightforward properties in sound condition without providing remedial guidance or a market value.
Most purchasers of ordinary residential property opt for the Level Two survey known as the HomeBuyer Report. It examines the property more thoroughly than Level One and includes advice on defects together with a market valuation and an insurance reinstatement cost. 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. The report is based on an exhaustive inspection and delivers substantial advice covering defects the required repairs and long-term maintenance.
No valuation is included as standard although one can be added if the client requests it. Lenders customarily commission a valuation as a precondition of releasing the mortgage monies. Its purpose is to reassure the mortgagee that the property value supports the proposed loan. 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. The price of a survey is influenced by the chosen level the property’s scale and position and the rates applied by the surveyor. Buyers pay less for a Level One report and more for a Level Three survey in line with the depth of investigation undertaken. Most surveyors will discuss the property with the client beforehand so that the most appropriate level can be recommended.
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. On occasion the information contained in the report is sufficient to persuade the purchaser to abandon the transaction.
Buyers who match the survey depth to the property and respond sensibly to the advice reduce the risk of expensive problems and disappointment. The decision to obtain a suitable survey ultimately contributes significantly to a buyer’s sense of security when entering the UK property market.
