A report in a concise, standard format, designed by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors as an economy service, intended for properties which are:

• conventional in type and construction
• in apparently reasonable condition

It focuses on essentials: defects and problems which are urgent or significant and have an effect on value. Its purpose is to enable a purchaser to make a reasoned and informed judgement on whether or not to proceed with a purchase, by assisting in identifying what decisions and actions should be taken before entering into a contract. The Homebuyer Survey includes market and insurance valuations.

The Homebuyer Survey is not normally considered suitable for properties which are older and/or Listed, of unusual construction, extensively altered or extended, dilapidated, where a major conversion or renovation is planned, or where the property is deemed to have obvious or identified structural problems.

When carrying out a Homebuyer Survey, our valuations are often accepted by mortgage lenders. We charge nothing extra for providing this service, which can make a detailed survey an even more economical option.

A detailed, good value survey, designed in our own easy to read but comprehensive format, which is suitable for all properties.
