We offer two different types of survey:-

RICS HomeBuyer Report

The RICS HomeBuyer Report is the most popular report for property buyers. An RICS HomeBuyer Report includes a separate market valuation and advice on any defects that may affect the value of the property and recommendations for repairs and ongoing maintenance.

Choose an RICS HomeBuyer Report if you are buying a conventional house, flat or bungalow, and would like more advice about the condition of the property, including repairs and ongoing maintenance. This report is normally suitable for properties built from 1900 and can also cover any specific concerns for which you would like the surveyor’s opinion.

RICS Building Survey

The RICS Building Survey is a comprehensive report providing information about the fabric and condition of the property, as well as defects, repair and maintenance advice. Choose an RICS Building Survey if you are dealing with a larger, older, run-down or unusual property, or if you are planning major works.
