RICS HomeBuyer Reports
The HOMEBUYER Service is in a standard format and is designed specifically as an economy service. It therefore differs materially from a Building Survey in two major respects.
• It is intended only for particular types of home:: houses, flats and bungalows which are:
• conventional in type and construction
• apparently in reasonable condition.
• It focuses on essentials: defects and problems which are urgent or significant and thus have an effect on the value of the property--although it also includes much other valuable information.
The HOMEBUYER, unlike a Building Survey, provides not only a survey but also a valuation as an integral part of the Service.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors have changed the format and content of this type of report in 2010. Wilkey & Co. will not be carrying out this type of inspection and report in the future. Click here for further information and advice
