Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A RICS Home Buyers Survey is a visual inspection of the grounds and the internal/external structure of the property and identifies defects such as cracks or damage to the structure of the property, subsidence, damp and infestations.
Some of these defects you may not even see or know what to look for which makes getting a Home Buyers Survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, incredibly important when you are considering buying a home in Petersfield.

If your Home Buyers Survey highlights concerns relating to any of these defects your surveyor explains what the issue is in detail and provides a recommendation as to what you should do to further investigate. An example of this is if your surveyor spots signs of damp within the property. Over 5,000 properties a week in the UK have damp proofing laid to combat the issue of rising damp and home buyers fear seeing mould, peeling wall paper and sodden floors as these are all tell-tale signs of rising damp.
If your property is showing these signs and your surveyor notes using their damp monitor that there is damp internally they'll advise you to get a damp specialist to attend the property, confirm the issue advising whether it is rising damp and quote for the costs in repairing with damp proofing.
If you're looking at buying a home in Petersfield which is showing signs of damp, or any other defects then you MUST get a Home Buyers Survey. The costs for repairing the defects can run into thousands of pounds; however, If you can identify the problem before you purchase then you can get quotes for fixing it and either share the costs with the seller, or, in worst case examples, choose not to proceed.

What is included in a Building Survey?
The Royal institute of Chartered Surveyors provides guidance on what you can expect to have included in your survey report.
The main areas included in the inspection are assessments for signs of subsidence, testing for damp, a review of drains and a loft and roof space inspection.
Checks are also made to identify any signs of asbestos or infestation which may require further specialist checks.
Utilities are assessed and any recommendations made if any concerns about age and condition are identified.
Testing of equipment cannot be carried out as tests can only be carried out by qualified specialists such as plumbers or electricians based locally in Petersfield.
The surveyor provides recommendations in the legal section of the report which should be passed to the legal adviser carrying out the conveyancing to ensure any necessary enquiries are raised with the vendor’s solicitor.
Does your property look like this?
The Level 2: HomeBuyer Report or a snagging report is ideal for a new build property. You core goal is to ensure the developers have completed the build to the standard that you have agreed between you and them. There are often cases where the developers builder miss certain areas, or the finish isn't quite to the standard you want, so a surveyor will look to pick up on items that the developer needs to address either before completion (if you have the time to do so) or afterwards by agreement.
Does your property look different to this? Then read our guide on which survey suits your property type.
