Property Survey Blackburn

The RICS Building Survey is the most detailed of the general surveys, addressing a broad spectrum of building components and characteristics. It is appropriate for all types of properties, irrespective of age or condition.

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

This top-tier service, the premier choice in the RICS Home Survey range, is selected by clients who expect a thorough, objective, and precise property evaluation, exceeding the scope of 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 pinpoint their needs before the survey and discusses the report’s findings 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.

When a red indicator is shown, plain and uncomplicated suggestions are provided, potentially indicating the necessity for a supplementary evaluation (e.g., by a specialised organisation) to secure a sensible cost for mending or substituting that section of the structure.

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