HomeBuyer Reports
The RICS HomeBuyer Report is suitable for simple, traditional properties that appear in reasonable condition and includes an opinion of market value. It identifies what the Surveyor considers to be the most important issues and applies a condition rating to the defects identified.
Unlike Capital Chartered Surveyors, some firms do not offer the official RICS product so it’s important to establish what you are buying before you instruct.

Why get a HomeBuyer Survey Report?
People buying standard types of houses or flats often feel that the cost of a report is just another expense on top of all the others. The HomeBuyer Report seeks to address this issue by providing buyers with useful information at a reasonable cost. The lender’s valuation is not a report on condition and is prepared for the benefit of the lender. It is unwise to rely on a valuation and we always advise buyers to obtain their own independent advice as it’s often beneficial in the long run.
