Home Buyers Report

The Homebuyer Survey and Valuation comprises an inspection of a residential property prior to purchase.

The report assists you in making an informed decision on whether to purchase the property and answers the following questions:-
 
  • What would be a reasonable price for the property?
  • Are there drawbacks I do not know about?
  • If so, what do I need to do about them?
The Homebuyer Survey and Valuation has been designed by RICS.
 
The Report is in a standard format and is designed to be an economical service. We are not able to carry out a Homebuyer Survey and Valuation on all properties as it is designed for standard type properties that are generally less than 100 years of age. Our Surveyor Coordinator will provide further information on suitability as required.
 
The Homebuyer Survey and Valuation differs from a Full Building Survey in that it focuses on essential items i.e. defects and problems which are considered “urgent” or “significant” and items which may have an effect on the value of the property.
 
Integral to the Homebuyer Survey and Valuation is a Market Valuation and a Reinstatement Cost Assessment, both of which are not included as standard within a Full Building Survey.

All of our Surveyors are fully qualified Members of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. 
 
Prices start at £350 (including VAT).
