HOMEBUYER
REPORT
from
just £ 249 plus vat
This is the
most popular type of survey, suitable for the vast majority
of homes built since the late Victorian period. The inspection
covers the whole property inside and out, from the loft
down to the drains (where accessible) and is written on a specially designed
RICS report, typically about 10 to 12 pages long.
The latest version provides a simple 'traffic light' summary with each part of the building allocated an easy-to-understand 'Condition Rating' of 1, 2 or 3.
A HomeBuyer
Report (HBR) will cover all significant defects
– in fact anything that could materially affect
the value. It also alerts you to future maintenance
problems. The report includes a valuation and insurance
calculation. Carried out by a qualified MRICS or FRICS chartered
surveyor.
Not normally
suitable for older period buildings (ie those built before 1880), unusually large houses, rambling mansions,
or properties in need of extensive renovation.

BUILDING
SURVEY
from
just £ 399 plus vat
Formerly known as ‘Full Structural Surveys’, these provide a
very detailed description of a building’s construction and
condition. Ideal for period properties, buildings that you want to renovate
or convert, or those that have already been extensively
altered.
Building
Surveys allow the surveyor to express extensive detailed
advice and are typically at least 20 pages long. Essential
for properties older than about 1880, thatched cottages, larger homes with
5 or more bedrooms, and for buildings of non-conventional construction.
As well as covering all urgent and significant defects, a Building Survey
will report on a wide range of less serious issues. A valuation is not normally
included unless requested. Carried out by a qualified MRICS
or FRICS chartered surveyor.

 VALUATION REPORT from
£141 plus vat 
This is the simplest type of property inspection. A
market valuation report from a chartered surveyor is recognised as having
legal status, unlike those produced by unqualified estate agents.
However inspections for valuation purposes are relatively limited, only
commenting on any obvious defects that have a major bearing on value.
The prices quoted are for a
standard valuation report of 2 or 3 pages including a professionally calculated
BCIS rebuild cost insurance valuation. This may be sufficient where valuations
are for matrimonial or tax purposes. However where any
specific additional work is required (e.g. focusing on a specific tax or for
use in court proceedings or where expert witness work are anticipated) please
phone us in advance to discuss your precise requirements.
We can also undertake mortgage
valuations for all main lenders in partnership with a leading national
firm of Surveyors (note that your bank or building society will dictate
their own mortgage valuation fees).
In all cases, our valuation figures are carefully researched and calculated
with reference to at least 3 recent local sales of comparable properties.

 Energy
Performance Certificate (EPC) from
£ 59 plus vat
For home sellers, an EPC is legally required before marketing a property. For Landlords an EPC is also legally required when
letting a property.
The EPC gives homes an 'A to G' energy
rating, similar to those on new fridges. Only qualified and
certificated Domestic Energy Assessors are allowed to prepare Energy
Performance Certificates.
