Building Surveys
A RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) building survey is a comprehensive assessment conducted by qualified surveyors, to evaluate the condition of a property. Unlike basic property valuations or homebuyer reports, RICS building surveys provide a detailed examination of the structural integrity, construction, and overall condition of a building.
These surveys are suitable for properties with unique characteristics such as historic or graded buildings.
During the survey, the surveyor will inspect both the interior and exterior of the property, identifying any defects, structural issues, or potential problems that may require attention. The survey report provides a detailed analysis of findings, including recommendations for repairs, maintenance, and further investigations if necessary. Ultimately, a RICS building survey equips property buyers, owners, and investors with invaluable information to make informed decisions about their property purchase.
