RICS Homebuyer Survey and Valuation

The Homebuyer service comprises:

• an Inspection of the Property
• a concise Report based on the Inspection
  
• the Valuation, which is part of the Report

The Surveyor's main objective in the HOMEBUYER Service is to give Clients considering buying a particular Property the professional advice which will assist them:

• to make a reasoned and informed judgement on whether or not to proceed with the purchase
  
• to assess whether or not the Property is a reasonable purchase at the agreed price
  
• to be clear what decisions and actions should be taken before contracts are exchanged.
  

The HOMEBUYER Service therefore covers the general condition of the Property and particular features, which affect its present value and may affect its future resale possibility and price. The Report focuses on what the Surveyor judges to be urgent or significant matters. Significant matters are those, which typically, in negotiations over price would be reflected in the amount finally agreed.
