RICS Home   Survey &   Valuation

A RICS Home Survey is a professional review of the condition of a property. This includes a physical inspection of a property's interior and exterior as agreed and is carried out by an RICS qualified surveyor.

The resulting detailed report highlights any issues and and offers guidance on ongoing maintenance - acting as a practical manual for the home. For more information see the our 'Services' and/or 'Resources' page.

An RICS Valuation is considered a formal valuation report that can be used for official purposes, such as providing evidence to a bank of a property's value to secure a loan against the property. The report provides in depth market analysis, a breakdown of comparable evidence and takes into account any other factors that may affect value. The Valuation report provides an opinion of 'Open Market Value' as at the date of valuation.
