HOUSE SURVEY

A house survey is defined as the detailed inspection of the house before the completion of the purchase. It is essential for anyone wanting to buy a dwelling in England to obtain it. This enables the customer to analyse the existing property state including dampness, subsidence or defective roofing etc. Building survey, includes a thorough assessment of the property. Generally, the need for a thorough inspection of the structure arises to have an idea of the cost of carrying out repairs or maintenance.

Before buying a house, it is recommended to first conduct a house buyers survey or house purchase survey. The survey is important for the buyers as it assists them in ensuring that the house they are about to buy is in good condition and that there are no concealed problems that may later require expensive maintenance in the future.

STRUCTURAL SURVEY

A structural survey is a detail structural assessment of the primary framework of a building which includes its foundation, walls, roof, ground condition, water table and any element concerning stability of the structure. It’s important because it can reveal useful information like cracks, subsidence or use of inferior materials potentially endangering the integrity of the structure It allows homebuyers or property owners to make informed decisions that would increase the longevity of the structure by offering options to purchase the building if any kind of structural abnormalities are prevalent. House structural survey explains itself. With a house structural survey, you can be assured that the house is ideally safe and secure for purchase.

A building structural survey is quite useful in the case of Old Buildings or buildings that have some kind of structural issue. A building structural survey seeks to understand and develop a strategy in anticipation of potential damages such as subsidence, cracks and dampness, enabling the structure to be able to stand future operations.

Structural Survey of commercial property inspects and describes all the risks associated with the use of a building. The origin of concern stems from the detection of damage or deformation from the foundations, walls, and roof. People, who buy or own a commercial property should carry out a structural survey on their properties to avoid costly repairs in the future and to ensure the property is fit to be used.

RICS Home Surveys

RICS home surveys are done by qualified chartered professionals. They provide detailed reports for property at various levels of detail (level 2 & level 3). The report is a formal document highlighting potential issues to the property.

Level 2 Home Survey

It is the inspection of a property that provides an in-depth report on the condition of the home, thus making an important level of property inspection assessment. This level of survey is ideal for properties that are in reasonable condition and have no obvious structural issues. A Home Survey Level 2 includes checks for dampness, subsidence, and defects in the building’s systems.

Level 3 Home Survey

It is a property survey that encompasses the whole of the property. Level 3 Home Survey is more detailed than level 2,  providing detailed information on structural defects and maintenance requirements, among other matters.

DRONE SURVEY

Drones are a prospective approach to property inspections for any type of property and those that are hard to reach and are big in size. This specific survey involves the use of high-tech drones fitted with cameras and sensors for capturing images of the property from heights and for collecting images as well as information regarding its exterior. The adoption of drone surveys has increased across the UK as they are efficient at providing information that may be difficult to access.

With developments in technology, as drone survey companies we do property checkouts with drones. High-definition footage and measurement made possible by drone technology. We also offer professional home survey data, which can be used for residential and commercial properties in the UK. The effectiveness of surveying works with buildings or estates with difficult access is effective by drone surveys.

PROPERTY SURVEY

A property survey is one that provides information about the physical characteristics of a structure. It also addresses any dampness, electrical and plumbing related issues including structural deficiencies that can hinder the resale of the property. This is an important document to have when buying a property in the UK because it aids buyers in avoiding purchasing properties with hidden problems. This could be domestic or commercial property survey.  

Property survey companies in the UK conduct surveys of buildings for regulation certification and insurance. We do screen reports that cover everything from addressing structural issues and cost to repair.

A house property survey or residential property survey involves a detailed house inspection of every corner, buildings attached to it, and ground state, and at the same time, it indicates areas that require or are anticipated to require maintenance work rather urgently. House property surveys are the most important requirement in the UK for homeowners and buyers to ensure that their properties are effectively managed.

FAQS

Frequently Most Asked
Questions

After a house survey, completion typically occurs within 4 to 6 weeks, but this can vary depending on factors like the type of transaction (e.g., first-time buyer or chain-free sale), any issues discovered during the survey, and the speed at which both parties (buyer and seller) can resolve them. If issues are found during the survey, such as structural problems, it could delay the process as the buyer may negotiate repairs or adjust the offer price.

The actual process of conducting a house survey can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. However, after the survey is conducted, the report may take several days (usually 3-7 days) to be completed and sent to the buyer. More detailed surveys, such as structural surveys, may take longer to prepare.

In the UK, there are three main types of house surveys: Level 1: RICS Condition Report – A basic report that highlights any urgent issues and provides an overall condition rating of the property. Suitable for newer properties or those in good condition. Level 2: HomeBuyer Report a more detailed report that includes a condition assessment, advice on repairs, and a valuation. Recommended for properties in reasonable condition, especially for mortgage lenders. Level 3: Building Survey (or Structural Survey). The most comprehensive type of survey provides an in-depth analysis of the property’s structure, defects, and maintenance needs. This is recommended for older properties, larger homes, or those in need of major repairs.

The cost of a house survey depends on the type of survey, the size of the property, and its location: Condition Report (Level 1): £250–£400 Homebuyer Report (Level 2): £400–£1,000 (higher costs for larger properties or those with more complex features) Building Survey (Level 3): £600–£2,000 (or more for large or complex properties) The prices can vary based on the surveyor’s experience and the property’s location (e.g., London vs. rural areas).

A structural survey, also known as a Building Survey (Level 3), is a detailed and comprehensive assessment of the condition of a property’s structure. It looks at everything from the foundations and roof to the internal and external walls, plumbing, and electrical systems. This type of survey is suitable for older buildings, properties with known issues, or if the buyer wants a deeper understanding of potential defects. It helps identify any major structural concerns, such as cracks, damp, or subsidence and provides recommendations for repairs.

A drone roof survey uses a drone to assess the condition of a property’s roof. Drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras and can be flown to capture images or videos of hard-to-reach roof areas. This technology is useful for inspecting roofs without the need for scaffolding or ladders, which can reduce costs and increase safety. A drone roof survey is often used for large or complex roofs where traditional methods may be difficult or costly.

A property survey is a general term used to describe any inspection or assessment of a property’s condition. This can include various types of surveys, such as a homebuyer report, building survey, or specific checks on elements like plumbing, electrical systems, or the structural integrity of the property. Property surveys are typically conducted before buying or selling a property to identify potential issues and provide an objective evaluation of its condition.
