Your Questions, Answered with Certainty

What is a home survey?

A home survey is an inspection of a property’s condition and boundaries, typically conducted before buying or selling a house. It helps identify potential issues and ensures accurate property details.

What are the different types of home surveys?

There are several types of home surveys available, primarily for people buying property. The type of survey you need depends on the property’s age, condition, and your future plans. These are the main types: RICS Level 1, RICS Level 2, RICS Level 3, Snagging Survey and Valuation Survey.

Why do I need a home survey?

A home survey is essential because it helps uncover hidden issues like structural problems, damp, faulty plumbing, or electrical hazards that might not be visible during a standard viewing. This can save you from unexpected repair costs or buying a property that has issues. It also gives you peace of mind, ensuring that you’re fully aware of the property’s condition before committing, and can even help you negotiate a lower price or ask the seller to fix issues before finalizing the sale.

How much does a home survey cost?

The cost of a home survey in the UK depends on the type of survey and the property size, age, and location.

In short, surveys typically range from £250 to £1,500+, depending on what you need. The investment can save you from costly surprises later!
