Homebuyer Report Northamptonshire

Homebuyer Reports receive endorsement from RICS for dwellings erected recently, with typical construction techniques and presenting as well-maintained.

Good condition signifies that one can move into the home requiring no more than surface-level fixing up, for instance, repainting.

Hence, Homebuyer Reports are usually apt for buildings from the 1920s until the current era, without modifications, maintained sufficiently, and no bigger than five bedrooms.

The report offers direct recommendations, forgoing lengthy technical accounts. Essential problems are pointed out, but smaller features like decoration and surface damage aren’t addressed thoroughly. Every section features a ‘traffic light rating’; red meaning ‘Beware’ and green indicating satisfactory.

Should a red code be flagged, straightforward and simple directives are issued, which may imply requiring another survey (from a dedicated company, say) for acquiring a genuine appraisal to rectify or exchange that portion of the building.

Note: Systems for electricity, gas, oil, water, and drainage are only looked at visually, and relevant competent experts must be appointed.
