What is the difference between the Building Survey and the HomeBuyers Report?
The RICS HomeBuyer Report is a standard traffic light format, and is different to a Building Survey in many ways. The HomeBuyers report is suitable for standard construction properties post 1950 such as bungalows and flats.
The Level 3: Building Survey is essential for larger or older properties that have had any extensions or alterations from their original build, or if you’re planning major works. The Building Survey comes in a more detailed report and included photos and explanations.
HomeBuyers Report in Horsham
The HomeBuyers Report is a reasonable 'broad-brush' structural inspection most suited to flats, new properties and bungalows of standard construction. A HomeBuyers Report would suit most leasehold flats in Horsham excepting Victorian conversions which may require a Building Survey.
Building Survey in Horsham
Many houses in Horsham are over 50 years old, have been converted or have an unusual style: a Building Survey is best suited to these. It is the highest level of visual inspection that a RICS Surveyor can produce.
