Property Survey Buckinghamshire

The RICS Building Survey is the most thorough assessment among general surveys, encompassing a wide range of building components and aspects. It is appropriate for all property types, regardless of 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. The survey requires a surveyor with sufficient expertise to perform a detailed property condition analysis. The report identifies potential or hidden defect risks with clarity. 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.

Whenever a red rating is emphasised, uncomplicated and direct guidance is furnished, which might necessitate an extra report (for instance, from a professional entity) enabling a realistic estimation for correcting or replacing that aspect of the property.

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