Property Survey Bicester

The RICS Building Survey is the most exhaustive of the general surveys, covering an extensive range of building elements and aspects. It is suitable for any property, regardless of its type, age, or condition.

For most identified issues, the report gives advice to support you in obtaining accurate cost estimates from builders or service providers for necessary repairs or replacements.

As the leading product in the RICS Home Survey range, this service is preferred by clients seeking a meticulous, impartial, and detailed property assessment, with higher expectations than those for RICS HomeBuyer and Condition Reports. To deliver this, the survey must be conducted by a surveyor with the expertise required for an in-depth condition assessment. The report identifies potential or hidden defect risks with clarity. The surveyor engages with the client to understand their specific needs before the survey and discusses the findings 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.

To each area, a ‘traffic light code’ is affixed; red denoting ‘Beware’ and green signifying 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: Utilities involving electric, gas, oil, water, and drains are inspected visually only, and suitable qualified technicians should be engaged.
