  • A RICS Home Survey is an independent property inspection carried out by a qualified RICS surveyor. It helps identify visible defects, structural issues, and maintenance concerns, giving buyers a clear understanding of a property’s condition before purchasing.

The right survey depends on the property’s age, condition, and construction. A Level 2 Home Survey is suitable for most modern, conventional properties, while a Level 3 Building Survey is recommended for older, larger, altered, or non-standard properties.

 

In most cases, your detailed RICS Home Survey report is delivered within 3–5 working days after the inspection. This may vary depending on the size and complexity of the property.

A standard RICS Home Survey focuses on the condition of the property. If you require a market valuation or reinstatement cost assessment, these services can usually be added upon request.

A RICS Home Survey can uncover hidden defects, highlight potential repair costs, and identify safety concerns before you complete the purchase. This information can help you negotiate the purchase price, budget for future repairs, and make a confident, informed decision.
