The valuation primarily confirms that the property is worth the amount being borrowed and highlights only major issues that could affect value.
Securing a personal survey remains wise even when a lender valuation has already been completed.
Three main levels of RICS Home Survey currently exist and each is designed for different property types and buyer needs.
The most basic option Level One presents a Condition Report structured around a simple traffic-light assessment of the property. Level One is appropriate for straightforward properties in sound condition without providing remedial guidance or a market value.
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. The surveyor conducts a thorough examination of the building’s construction and supplies in-depth guidance on problems remedial works and upkeep.
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. Because the valuation is commissioned by the lender its focus remains the security of the advance rather than the buyer’s wider concerns. Purchasers frequently assume the mortgage valuation will meet their needs however the content is usually restricted.
An independent survey commissioned by the buyer can reveal defects that might affect living conditions future costs or even the decision to proceed. The price of a survey is influenced by the chosen level the property’s scale and position and the rates applied by the surveyor. Pricing rises from the inexpensive Level One through to the higher-cost Level Three reflecting the increased professional input. Surveyors commonly speak with the buyer in advance in order to advise on the survey level best matched to the dwelling.
Careful reading of the completed report followed by questions on unclear sections helps the buyer make full use of the information. Serious defects may provide grounds for renegotiating the purchase price or requesting that the seller undertakes remedial work before exchange. On occasion the information contained in the report is sufficient to persuade the purchaser to abandon the transaction.
The right level of survey combined with careful attention to its conclusions helps avoid costly surprises and dissatisfaction after moving in. For UK purchasers a well-chosen survey stands among the best methods of securing clarity and reducing risk before completion.
