Full Building Surveys (previously known as structural surveys) are also referred to as a level 3 survey. A full Building Survey is a visual inspection of the external and internal elements of the building fabric and structure. From the inspection made, we are able to determine the construction and condition of the elements of the property.
A Homebuyers Report is also known as a level two survey and by some lenders as a scheme 2. We use the RICS system of report writer which fits the RICS suite of surveys. The changes provide a different format of a report, the principal difference of which identifies defects under a traffic light rating system.
The report does not include a valuation. The report also excludes a reinstatement figure (for insurance re-building cost) but this can be added at a small additional cost. The principal is that it follows a similar format to the revised HomeBuyer Report (see separate section) but can be tailored to suit specific elements of a property.
Appleby Petfield are experienced in undertaking video surveys on both individual and portfolio properties. Video surveys are usually provided to give clients an indication of overall construction and condition and are particularly useful where there is a portfolio of properties when the comparison of properties can be clearly seen.
