Chartered Surveyor
RICS Condition Report
This is the most basic survey and typically used for a conventional property in reasonable condition. It focuses purely on the condition of the property and doesn’t include a valuation.
Level 1-Condition Report – The ‘no frills’ one
- The most basic independent survey providing a traffic light rating for the general condition of different parts of the property
- Doesn’t go into much detail, it’s just a way of ‘double-checking’ everything’s OK
- Tends to suit people buying a modern house in good condition
How do you choose the right survey? Let us guide you.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) surveys help you to compare at a glance the matters that need early attention with those that do not currently need repair by giving Condition Ratings 1, 2 and 3 in a ‘traffic light format’.
1
No repair is currently needed. The property must be maintained in the normal way.
2
Defects that need repairing or replacing but are not considered to be either serious or urgent. The property must be maintained in the normal way.
3
Defects that are serious and/or need to be repaired, replaced or investigates urgently.
