Property Survey Rugby

The RICS Building Survey is the most thorough assessment among general surveys, encompassing a wide range of building components and aspects. It is designed for properties of any kind, age, or state.

For most defects, the report includes advice to help you obtain precise cost estimates from builders or service providers for repairs or replacements.

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 requires a surveyor with the skills to perform an in-depth property condition assessment. 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 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.

A ‘traffic light scheme’ accompanies each division; red for ‘Beware’ and green for satisfactory.

If a red signal appears, basic and direct recommendations are offered, which could suggest needing an additional assessment (such as from an expert firm) to get a practical quote for fixing or renewing that building element.

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