Homebuyer Report Wigan

RICS suggests Homebuyer Reports for properties built in modern times, using regular construction approaches and appearing structurally sound.

Good condition denotes that you may inhabit the residence with merely decorative rectification, such as refurbishing the décor.

Consequently, Homebuyer Reports are generally appropriate for homes built from the 1920s onwards, without extensions, kept to an acceptable level, and limited to five bedrooms at most.

The document provides clear guidance, avoiding extensive technical details. Essential problems are pointed out, but smaller features like decoration and surface damage aren’t addressed thoroughly. A ‘traffic light indicator’ is applied to every segment; red for ‘Beware’ and green for satisfactory.

In cases where a red scheme is noted, elementary and candid advice is tendered, possibly entailing a follow-up inspection (perhaps via a specialist entity) to procure an accurate figure for repairing or renewing that building component.

Note: Services for electricity, gas, oil, water, and drainage undergo only visual checks, and appropriate certified experts must be hired.
