Property Survey Oldham

The RICS Building Survey is the most detailed of the general surveys, addressing a broad spectrum of building components and characteristics. It is designed for properties of any kind, age, or state.

The report includes guidance on most defects, enabling you to seek precise repair or replacement cost estimates from builders or service providers.

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. 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 collaborates with the client to determine their exact needs before the survey and discusses the results post-inspection. A detailed desktop study ensures the surveyor has a strong understanding of the property’s locality, and the inspection produces a factual, logically ordered report in straightforward language, clearly distinguishing facts from the surveyor’s opinions.

A ‘traffic light indicator’ is applied to every segment; 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.
