This is a survey in a standard report format suitable for most traditional houses, flats and bungalows. The report is clear and concise and the surveyor will apply condition ratings to elements of the building identifying whether defects are serious or urgent. A valuation and reinstatement cost for insurance purposes can also be provided as an optional extra to the survey report.

You should choose an RICS Building Survey if you’re dealing with a large, older or run-down property or a building that is unusual or altered. The Report will provide you with a description of visible defects and potential problems caused by hidden flaws.
