What is a HomeBuyer Report?

A HomeBuyer report is carried out by an RICS-qualified surveyor. This type of survey looks at any visible defects and the surveyor aims to comment on the condition of the property, both internally and externally. The aim of a HomeBuyer Report is to bring to light any defects in the property, so that a potential buyer can make an informed decision about the purchase.

How do I choose the right survey?

There are three different survey reports on offer: HomeBuyer Report; Building Survey; and Property Valuation Report. You can compare the types of property surveys here.

The HomeBuyer Report – This is a general survey of a property, remarking on any visible issues or defects. If the home being surveyed is of standard construction and was built after 1900, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) recommends that the HomeBuyer Report is the most suitable survey to order. The report is delivered in a standardised format for easy reference. This type of report includes a property valuation.

The Building Survey – A more in-depth survey of a home, including all accessible areas of the property. RICS do recommend the Building Survey Report for older properties or those properties of non-standard construction. Building surveys are tailored by the individual surveyor and can address any additional questions or concerns from the potential buyer. This type of report does not include a valuation as standard, though if you tell us you want one, we will be able to add this on for you for an extra fee.

The Property Valuation Report – The most basic of the three property reports, this is primarily a valuation and will not include details of particular concerns or defects.
