Property Survey Northamptonshire

The RICS Building Survey offers the most extensive evaluation of general surveys, covering numerous building elements and features. 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. It must be carried out by a surveyor with the necessary skills for a comprehensive condition assessment. The report clearly outlines risks of potential or hidden defects. The surveyor builds a relationship with the client to clarify their requirements before the service and reviews the report with them afterwards. A thorough desktop study provides the surveyor with contextual knowledge of the property’s locality, and the inspection produces a clear, factual report, logically organised and written in straightforward language, distinguishing facts from the surveyor’s views.

A ‘traffic light scheme’ accompanies each division; 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.
