A RICS HomeBuyer Survey is the survey likely to be recommended to most home buyers. This inspection efficiently covers the entire property on both the inside and outside.
Areas of the home will be given a condition rating of 1, 2 or 3 and the report will cover all defects and anything that could have a detrimental effect on the value of the property.
The surveyors you compare can also offer a valuation and a calculation of the insurance if requested or required.
A RICS Building Survey, formerly known as a ‘Full Structural Survey’ offers an in-depth and detailed report on the construction and condition of the building. Compare My Move would recommend this kind of survey if you are buying a thatched cottage, a large home, an older build house or a period property that you plan to renovate.
It is important that you know that the building is safe and that the changes you plan to make can be safely carried out. The qualified Chartered Surveyor you find through Compare My Move will happily discuss the report findings with you.
