Property Survey Manchester

The RICS Building Survey is the most exhaustive of the general surveys, covering an extensive range of building elements and aspects. It is designed for properties of any kind, age, or state.

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.

This premium service, the top offering in the RICS Home Survey range, is chosen by clients seeking a detailed, unbiased, and clear property evaluation, with expectations exceeding those for 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. It identifies risks of potential or concealed defects accurately. 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.

To each area, a ‘traffic light code’ is affixed; red denoting ‘Beware’ and green signifying 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: Utilities involving electric, gas, oil, water, and drains are inspected visually only, and suitable qualified technicians should be engaged.
