Homebuyer Report Bromyard

RICS suggests Homebuyer Reports for properties built in modern times, using regular construction approaches and appearing structurally sound.

Good condition signifies that one can move into the home requiring no more than surface-level fixing up, for instance, repainting.

Consequently, Homebuyer Reports are generally appropriate for homes built from the 1920s onwards, without extensions, kept to an acceptable level, and limited to five bedrooms at most.

The document provides clear guidance, avoiding extensive technical details. Principal faults will be highlighted, yet trivial elements like embellishment and minor blemishes won’t be covered in depth. To each area, a ‘traffic light code’ is affixed; red denoting ‘Beware’ and green signifying 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.
