The recognised RICS Home Survey range comprises three tiers each matched to particular property profiles and buyer priorities.
The Condition Report at Level One delivers an elementary summary of the dwelling’s state through a straightforward colour-coded rating. This level works well for standard homes that appear well maintained and omits both repair recommendations and any valuation figure.

Problems that affect occupation future spending or the decision to buy are more likely to surface in a survey ordered by the purchaser. How much a buyer pays depends on the level of report the characteristics of the property and the surveyor’s pricing approach. 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.

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.
