What will a rics home buyers survey tell me?

A RICS Home Buyers Survey is a much more in-depth inspection than those conducted by mortgage lenders. It’s a comprehensive report on the condition of a property to help you find out exactly what you’re buying.

RICS Home Survey – Level 2 (survey & valuation) will:

  • Describe the construction and condition of the property
  • Identify any serious problems that need urgent attention
  • Identify things that need
    investigating to prevent serious damage
  • Tell you about problems that may be dangerous
  • Show up any potential issues and defects you need to be aware of
  • Help you decide whether you need advice before committing to buy
  • Enable you to budget for any repairs or restoration
  • Advise you on the amount of ongoing maintenance required in future
  • Provide a reinstatement cost to help you avoid under or over insuring
  • Provide a market valuation to be sure you’re paying the right price

Follwells successfully sold my Mum's house for us recently. A fairly challenging property in some ways - in need of work, with a huge overgrown garden - they valued it sensibly, with a good eye to the local market. We achieved 95% of the asking price, which given the current situation, we were pleased with. There were a lot of tyre kickers and people wasting time and the team dealt with them with a lot more grace than I could have! They also managed all of the viewings and access impeccably, kept me well-informed and actively progressed the sale. I would happily recommend them to anyone in the area who needs an estate agent who actually takes their job seriously.

My engagement with Follwells was as a buyer. From the first call accommodating our availability through to the completion arrangements, the attention to detail was exceptional. The team at Follwells responded to queries and kept us informed at all stages in the journey, liaising with all parties to ensure a smooth and efficient transition. Reliable, proactive, professional and friendly.
