RICS SURVEYS: Your Knowledge Hub
What Is a RICS Home Survey
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. Knowing what a house survey is and when you need one can save you a substantial amount of money.
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.
To find the appropriate RICS Survey for you, it is important to understand the difference between a level 2 and level 3 survey.
Cyd Innovation’s RICS Home Surveys – Level 2 vs Level 3 Surveys
RICS Level 2

Best suited for:
- Newer properties
- Homes with no significant alterations
- Buyers looking for a 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.
