LEVEL 1 SURVEYS
(KNOWN AS CONDITION REPORTS UNTIL DECEMBER 2020)
Choose this type of Survey if you’re buying a relatively recently built house or flat. The level of detail within the report is enough in these instances to give you a helpful overview but is rarely suitable for anything about 20 years old or older.

RICS Condition Report and Probate Valuation, Hanwell, London, W7
A Homebuyer Survey was chosen because this large Victorian semi detached house was subject to probate, and the occupiers wanted to establish whether repairs were considered necessary, prior to disposal. We identified a number of defects in respect of dampness and defective joinery and rainwater goods, together with a number of drainage and potential tree root damage issues.
Outside London

A modern end terrace house built in 2004.
