Homebuyer Surveys
Homebuyer Surveys report on the significant defects in a property.
The inspection is the same as a Full Structural Survey (Building Survey) but the report does not contain photographs or estimates of repair costs. It does identify the significant defects and includes an open market valuation.
The report itself is both brief and clearly laid out, and follows a pre-printed format of ten pages, designed by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
Homebuyer Surveys can often be an excellent choice for two reasons:
- Firstly, if you are purchasing a newly constructed property, such as a modern apartment, you may consider that a Structural Survey is excessive.
- Secondly, a Homebuyer Survey is cheaper, concise and is often sufficient for most people's needs.
A Homebuyer Survey can be a reasonable choice, but you should always balance the initial cost of a survey with the potential that the property has for problems that may then lead to expensive repairs.
If the property is more than 30 years old, or has unusual features, you may consider that a
Full Structural Survey (Building Survey) is essential.
