Who is this for?

  • The property is older, listed, or has visible signs of wear
  • You want negotiating leverage if issues are found
  • You want peace of mind before completing the biggest purchase of your life

What is a RICS survey?

A RICS survey is carried out by a qualified surveyor regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. It assesses the structural condition of a property, identifies defects, and gives you an independent view before you exchange contracts.

There are different levels of survey depending on the property's age, condition, and your own concerns, from a Level 1 Condition Report through to a full Level 3 Building Survey for older or more complex properties.

We'll help you understand which level of survey is right for your purchase and connect you with a trusted RICS qualified surveyor.

Key points

  • Level 2 (HomeBuyer Report) suits most standard properties
  • Level 3 (Building Survey) suits older or unusual properties
  • Surveys can reveal issues that affect your mortgage offer
  • Findings can be used to renegotiate the purchase price
