Homebuyer Survey: Summary:

The RICS Homebuyer Survey and Valuation Report (sometimes referred to as an HSV or Scheme 2) is in a standard format and has been formulated from discussion with many relevant sources including the various consumer organisations. It has been designed specifically as an economical service focusing on essentials, defects and problems which are urgent or significant and thus having an effect on the property and it's value but, without the considerable expense of a Building Survey. It includes all the valuable information a purchaser requires and provides not only a survey but a valuation as an integral part of the report.

The surveyors main objectives in providing this service are to assist the prospective home buyer to:

- make a reasoned and informed judgement whether or not to proceed with the purchase.

- assess at what price it would be reasonable to purchase the property

- be clear what decisions and actions should be taken before making an offer to purchase.

The report is limited by how much access the seller is prepared to make available, but any part of the building not given a detailed inspection will be noted in the report.

The service is clearly defined but can incorporate additional services in it's format to suit the needs of the individual client.
