RICS Residential Property Surveys

RICS Homebuyer’s Surveys

A Homebuyer’s Survey will help you make a well-informed decision about purchasing a property. It can help assess whether you’re paying a fair price as well as minimising the risk of unexpected issues and costs arising in the future.

RICS Condition Reports

The RICS Condition Report is the most basic of our property surveys. It covers the defects, urgent problems or potential dangers of a property and helps you to make the most well- informed decision about your purchase of property in.

What is the Difference Between a Valuation and a Property Survey when Buying a House?

​A valuation is used to determine the value of a property mostly for mortgage purposes. This can be done on-site or remotely. It is for the benefit of the lender.

The property survey is a much more detailed onsite inspection of the property. This is completed on behalf of the buyer and supports them in their property decisions.

Which Property Survey Do I Need?

The best property survey for your situation depends on the age and condition of the property as well as what you have planned for it. The RICS property surveys vary in how much technical detail and advice they provide and in how in-depth the survey inspection is.
