Knowledge is power
Buying a new home is a big investment and without knowing really what you are getting you could face unexpected bills. By getting some detailed information before you buy, you could save yourself time, disappointment and money. And what is the best way to get that information?
With A RICS HomeBuyer Report!
The Home Buyer Report is a RICS Level 2 building survey. This is the ideal choice wherever you might have concerns about the property due to its age or visible signs of problems like damp, or where you plan to undertake some smaller-scale building work after moving in.
What is included?
The Home Buyer Report is available with and without a valuation of the property. In both instances one of our RICS qualified chartered surveyors will perform a thorough inspection of the accessible areas of the property, after which you will receive a report of the inspection results for you to use.
As stated above, the surveyor will only review accessible areas of the property, and will not view beneath floorboards, inside walls or into crawl spaces.
As well as a report on the condition of the whole property, provided in an easy-to-view traffic-light system for different levels of problem, the Home Buyer Report provides advice on specific defects and what one-off repairs and ongoing maintenance you might need to carry out in the future.
This can be particularly useful if it suggests a value significantly lower than your offer, especially if this is the result of a defect that you were previously not aware of. If you choose to negotiate with the vendor as a result, a professional Home Buyer report by a RICS surveyor is a valuable tool in demonstrating why a defect might justify a reduction in the price of the property.
