Property Survey Kettering

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 offers recommendations for most defects, allowing you to approach builders or service providers for reliable repair or replacement cost estimates.

As the flagship product in the RICS Home Survey range, this service appeals to clients desiring a clear, impartial, and comprehensive property assessment, surpassing the standards of RICS HomeBuyer and Condition Reports. It must be carried out by a surveyor with the necessary skills for a comprehensive condition assessment. 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 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.

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.
