An RICS Home Survey Report should not be confused with a mortgage valuation report. The mortgage valuation will give your mortgage lender assurance for its loan. It will not give you an assessment of the condition of the property, or advice about repairs and maintenance. According to a recent survey of home buyers, of the one in four who relied solely on a mortgage valuation report, 25% needed to undertake unplanned work in the first year, amounting to an average cost of over £1100 (RICS GfK NOP research).
At Appraisal Surveyors, we provide Level 1, 2 and 3 RICS Home Survey Reports. These were formally and loosely known as Valuation, Homebuyer Report and Full Building Survey respectively.
