The RICS HomeBuyer Report is now officially called the RICS Home Survey – Level 2. It is the same service, provided under the current RICS Home Survey Standard.
The RICS HomeBuyer Report is our most popular survey and is suited to the majority of properties and purchasers. The RICS HomeBuyer Report includes statements on the construction and condition of each element of the property and provides advice on necessary works and further investigations. We include a large number of photographs in each report to help illustrate our findings. The detailed inspection increases the chance of defects being uncovered and a valuation of the property is given as standard.
The RICS HomeBuyer Report is suitable for most properties and purchasers and is the most popular survey among our clients.
The RICS HomeBuyer Report follows a standard format with a paragraph on each element of the property under the sections ‘Outside the Property’, ‘Inside the Property’, ‘Services’ and ‘Grounds’. Advice is given on remedial works and further specialist investigations that are required. Each element is given a Condition Rating to indicate areas of particular concern and highlight where remedial works are required. Issues for your solicitor to investigate are detailed. Photos are included and comment is made on the local area and environment. A valuation and insurance figure are included as standard.
