What Is A RICS Home Survey, and Why Might I Need One?
A RICS Home Survey provides a detailed property condition report on a residential property. It helps you understand potential problems and future costs, giving you the facts you need before signing contracts or negotiating price. Key benefits include:
- Informed Decisions
Know the condition of the property before you buy - Financial Protection
Identify problems early to avoid costly surprises later - Negotiation Power
Use the report to renegotiate the purchase price if needed - Future Planning
Budget more accurately for repairs or upgrades
A home survey offers clarity and peace of mind. It’s not just about spotting problems, it’s about helping you plan, protect your investment and move forward with confidence.
The Difference Between a Level 2 and Level 3 RICS Survey
We offer both the RICS Level 2 Survey (also known as a Home Buyers Report) and the Level 3 RICS Building Survey, depending on the type, age and condition of the property.
RICS Level 2
Home Survey
A Level 2 Survey (or Home Buyers Report) is recommended for conventional, modern properties in reasonable condition.
This visual property inspection identifies urgent issues, defects and maintenance concerns that may affect the property’s value or safety. This type of Homebuyers Report is designed to give peace of mind to buyers looking for clear, factual insight without the need for extensive structural analysis.
Best suited for:
- Newer properties
- Homes with no significant alterations
- Buyers looking for a clear, concise RICS Valuation
RICS Level 3
Home Survey
A Level 3 Survey is ideal for larger, older or more complex properties, including homes with unusual layouts, visible defects or planned renovations.
It involves a more detailed inspection of the building’s structure, condition, and materials, along with expert guidance on necessary repairs, ongoing maintenance, and associated costs. This comprehensive report supports informed long-term planning and effective budget management.
Best suited for:
- Older or period properties
- Renovation projects
- Homes with visible damage or extensive alterations
