Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A Home Buyers Survey is completed by a qualified RICS surveyor and delivers a visual inspection of the property in Bridgend and the surrounding garden. The aim of the survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, is to identify potential risks or defects that you may not know are there such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.

Should any issues be flagged up in the Home Buyers Survey, our surveyor will tell you what you need to do to get more in-depth advice on the extent and seriousness of the issue and what needs to be done to remedy it.
If you are worried about a crack or cracks or indeed any other defects that you think your property in Bridgend has, we strongly recommend you get a Home Buyers Survey as the cost of remedying the problem might snowball into many thousands of pounds further down the line. As an example of the costs, underpinning a property due to subsidence can be upwards of £10,000.

Can a RICS surveyor comment on the removal of a load bearing wall?
If the seller has removed a wall, or you are planning to remove a wall in the property then a RICS surveyor cannot definitively confirm if the wall is or is not load bearing because their inspection is only visual. The surveyor may give their opinion, however it will come with a caveat that you should obtain an intrusive assessment to confirm.
Before the removal of a load bearing wall, you should always instruct a local structural engineer in Bridgend to provide their definitive opinion on if the wall is or is not a load bearing wall.
Does your property look like this?
Run down properties, or ones in need of renovation require a Level 3: Building Survey as the Level 2: HomeBuyer Report does provide the depth of information about defects. RICS states that the HomeBuyer Report "is specifically designed for lay clients who are seeking a professional opinion at an economic price. It is, therefore, necessarily less comprehensive than a level 3 building survey. The focus of the service is on assessing the general condition of the main elements of a property, and identifying and evaluating the particular features that affect its present value and may affect its future resale. The inspection is not exhaustive, and no tests are undertaken".
