When buying a house, there are always risks involved. Knowing what some of those risks are before completing the purchase can help save you thousands of pounds further down the line. One way to do this is to get a good understanding of the condition of the building. This is where RICS home surveys can help.

There are a range of home surveys available, each of which produce a different type of evaluation report, some of which can be fairly complex. Choosing the right survey is therefore as important as the need for the survey itself.

Our property experts understand that this can be a daunting task for the average homeowner or prospective buyer. We will always ensure that we provide you the right information and that often means discussing your requirements first.

    Which home survey do I need?

    There are three home surveys, which the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) classifies by ‘level’, ranging from level 1 to 3. Depending on the amount of detail you are looking for will determine which survey will best suit your needs. The Level 3 Building Survey is by far the most comprehensive of the three reports while a Level 1 Condition Report focusses purely on the condition of the property.
