Property Survey Wellingborough

The RICS Building Survey is the most detailed of the general surveys, addressing a broad spectrum of building components and characteristics. 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. The survey demands a surveyor with the expertise to conduct a thorough condition evaluation. The report highlights potential or hidden defect risks clearly. The surveyor builds a relationship with the client to clarify their requirements before the service and reviews the report with them afterwards. A detailed desktop study ensures the surveyor understands the property’s local context, and the inspection delivers a factual, well-structured report in clear language, separating observations from professional opinions.

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