Home Buyers Survey - What does it cover?
A RICS Home Buyers Survey involves an examination of the structure of the inside and the outside of a property.
Choosing the right survey, whether a Building Survey (which used to be known as a Full Structural Survey) or a HomeBuyers Report, to get is important however both a HomeBuyers Report and a Building Survey will identify any suspicions of the main defects discussed below.

If they find any issues during the inspection of your property in Weymouth, our surveyor will flag them up in the Home Buyers Survey and give you advice on what you should do to solve them. An example of this is where the surveyor finds evidence of woodworm infestation.
If you are concerned about any other defects with the property you MUST get a Home Buyers Survey as the costs of repairing the defects can run into thousands of pounds.

How long does it take to compile a survey report?
On the day of the inspection the surveyor will attend the property and complete your chosen survey; either a HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey. Once they are back in the office the same evening they will give you a call to run through any major issues found during the inspection (some surveyors don't offer this service however with us this comes as standard).
The surveyor will then email the report to you five working days after the survey has taken place. If the surveyor feels the report is going to take him longer to type up due to the detail included then they’ll advise you of when the survey report will be made available.

Building Survey in Weymouth
Most freehold houses in Weymouth that are over 50 years old, that have been refurbished/developed or are unusual in style should get a Building Survey.

Choosing a HomeBuyers Report when you should have a Building survey can be costly if key defects don't get reported in the detail you require.
