Property Survey Shrewsbury

The RICS Building Survey is the most exhaustive of the general surveys, covering an extensive range of building elements and aspects. It is appropriate for all types of properties, irrespective of age or condition.

The report includes guidance on most defects, enabling you to seek precise repair or replacement cost estimates from builders or service providers.

This premium service, the top offering in the RICS Home Survey range, is chosen by clients seeking a detailed, unbiased, and clear property evaluation, with expectations exceeding those for RICS HomeBuyer and Condition Reports. It requires a surveyor with the skills to perform an in-depth property condition assessment. It highlights risks associated with potential or hidden defects clearly. The surveyor collaborates with the client to determine their exact needs before the survey and discusses the results post-inspection. A comprehensive desktop study equips the surveyor with local property knowledge, and the inspection yields a factual, logically structured report in plain language, clearly separating facts from opinions.

Every section features a ‘traffic light rating’; red meaning ‘Beware’ and green indicating satisfactory.

If a red signal appears, basic and direct recommendations are offered, which could suggest needing an additional assessment (such as from an expert firm) to get a practical quote for fixing or renewing that building element.

Note: Utilities involving electric, gas, oil, water, and drains are inspected visually only, and suitable qualified technicians should be engaged.
