SURVEYS OF HOUSES & FLATS

What type of survey should I have?

Building Survey, RICS Homebuyers Report or Valuation?



Building Survey

The building survey is suitable for all property, but is particularly so for large buildings, older buildings, buildings which are in poor condition, buildings of non traditional or an unusual form of construction. A free range of text is available to the surveyor, as well as illustrative photography to clarify and demonstrate the identification of construction details, faults and inadequacies.

 

RICS Homebuyers Report

A shortened report produced in a pre prepared form by the RICS. It seeks to focus upon two thingssignificant fault, which is defined as one which affects value, and the need for urgent repair, which is self explanatory. This form of report is being phased out during the course of 2009 but is still currently available.

 

How long will it take ?

We will usually be able to inspect the property within a few days of your instruction and a summary can be given to you on the phone soon afterwards. The report will usually follow 3-4 working days after the inspection.

Sometimes in particular circumstances we can produce reports within 2 days of instruction. Please ask for details.
