Buying a home is one of the most significant investments you’ll ever make. To ensure you’re making a sound decision, a professional survey is essential. However, many buyers are confused by the different levels of RICS Home Surveys available.
Level 1: RICS Home Survey
The most basic survey, suitable for modern homes in good condition. It uses a traffic light system to rate the condition of different parts of the property.
Level 2: RICS HomeBuyer Report
The most popular choice for standard properties. It provides a more detailed assessment and includes advice on repairs and ongoing maintenance.
Level 3: RICS Building Survey
The most comprehensive survey, recommended for older properties, period homes, or buildings that have undergone significant alterations.
