Property Survey Penwortham

The RICS Building Survey provides the most in-depth analysis among general surveys, examining a wide array of building features and components. It is appropriate for all property types, regardless of 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.

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. It must be carried out by a surveyor with the necessary skills for a comprehensive 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 detailed desktop study ensures the surveyor understands the property’s local context, and the inspection delivers a factual, well-structured report in clear language, separating observations from professional opinions.

Every section features a ‘traffic light rating’; red meaning ‘Beware’ and green indicating 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: Services for electricity, gas, oil, water, and drainage undergo only visual checks, and appropriate certified experts must be hired.
