What is the RICS Homebuyer’s Survey for London?
There are said to be three stressful things in life which most of us go through – marriage, having children, and moving. With the latter, you can spend weeks, months and in some cases years searching for the perfect property, only to be met with various problems once the contracts have been exchanged. To ensure that you don’t get stung when moving property, it’s advisable to have a Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) homebuyers survey London carried out by the team of professional and experienced surveyors available here at Kutner.
When buying a second hand car, many of us will carry out various checks to ensure that we’re paying a fair price for the product. When moving, the similarly stringent checks should be carried out on the property that you’re looking to purchase – and this is what the RICS homebuyer’s survey provides.
Since the Home Information Packs (HIPS) reports were scraped, the RICS homebuyer’s survey carried out by our highly experienced team of surveyors is highly recommended for buyers who want to ensure that they don’t get stung with a large bill for urgent repair work, a week after moving in.
The purpose of the homebuyer’s survey is to benefit the buyer and help them purchase a property for a realistic price based on the current housing market. A thorough report will also benefit the seller, as they’re able to put their property on the market for a realistic price, which will hopefully increase interest.
Our team of surveyors when carrying out the survey will examine the interior and exterior property for any serious structural issues such as subsidence, damp/dry rot and severe cracks within the walls/plaster. Along with checking the interior and exterior, we’ll also check the surrounding site for any environmental issues which could potentially arise.
For a competitive price, here at Kutner we can provide you with a thorough homebuyers survey London ensuring that before you sign the contracts, you have all the relevant information surrounding the structure of the property.
