HOMEBUYERS SURVEY OR NO SURVEY?

Looking to buy a new home? A Homebuyers Survey is an essential step towards ensuring your investment is sound. At our company, we specialize in providing comprehensive Homebuyers Surveys that cover all aspects of your potential new property.

What is a Homebuyers Survey?

A homebuyer’s survey is a detailed inspection of a property carried out by a qualified surveyor. The survey is designed to provide the buyer with a comprehensive report on the condition of the property, identifying any potential problems or defects.

At Nicholas & Co. Surveyors, team of experienced surveyors will thoroughly inspect the property, identifying any potential issues or defects that could cause problems down the line. We will provide you with a detailed report that outlines our findings and recommendations, giving you the knowledge and confidence you need to make an informed decision about your purchase.

Our Homebuyers Survey includes an examination of the property’s structural integrity, as well as a review of the condition of its plumbing, heating, electrical systems, and more. We also evaluate any potential safety hazards, such as the presence of asbestos or radon gas. There are different levels of Homebuyers surveys available, and each level provides varying degrees of detail and analysis. Here’s a breakdown of the different levels of Homebuyers surveys available:

RICS Home Survey - Level 2 (Survey Only): This level of survey includes a more extensive visual inspection of the property, its services, and grounds, but without tests. It’s suitable for properties that are in reasonable condition but may require further investigation.

RICS Home Survey - Level 2 (Survey and Valuation): This level of survey includes everything in the Level 2 Survey Only, but with the addition of a surveyor’s professional opinion on the market value of the property, an insurance reinstatement figure, and a list of problems that may affect the value of the property.

RICS Home Survey - Level 3: This is the most comprehensive level of Homebuyers survey, suitable for larger, older, or run-down properties, unusual or altered buildings, or properties where major works are planned. It includes a detailed visual inspection of the property, its services, and grounds, including concealed areas and normal operation of services.

It’s important to note that not all Homebuyers surveys are the same, and it’s essential to choose the right level of survey for your specific needs. Consulting with a qualified RICS Surveyor can help you determine which level of survey is best suited for your property purchase.
