Choosing a survey
Report
Choose the right RICS survey to highlight any serious problems and advise you of the specific risks before you commit to the process of buying or selling a property. If you are buying a home one of our RICS approved surveys will tell you the condition of the property, help you avoid expensive surprises after you've moved in and could be invaluable during price negotiations.
RICS surveys
Report
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) surveys help you to compare at a glance those matters that need early attention with those that do not currently need repair by giving Condition Ratings 1, 2 and 3 in a "traffic light format". RICS reports are user-friendly and there are three to choose from depending on your needs: RICS HomeBuyer Survey and Valuation, RICS Building Survey and RICS Condition Report.
Valuations
Report
A Market Valuation conducted for you is different from the mortgage valuation your lender will normally commission if you are taking out a mortgage. Please remember, a valuation is not a condition survey. Help to Buy: If you purchased your home using the government Help to Buy Scheme and are looking to sell, repay or remortgage your home you will require an RICS valuation.
Other services
Report
We can provide an up to date rebuilding valuation to ensure you are not under or over-insured. The calculation uses up to date cost information from the RICS and takes into account demolition and rebuilding costs, and professional fees. The figure does not include the land and must not be confused with a market valuation.
