The Homebuyer's Survey and Valuation is in a standard format and is designed as an economy service.
Following the standard format designed by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, It focuses on essentials: defects and problems which are urgent or significant and thus have an effect on the value of the property; the value of the property in the open market and for insurance purposes. This type of report is suitable for most modern homes of conventional construction.
West & Partners recommends that for any houses of non-standard construction, and most properties of pre-Second World war construction a Buiding Surveryshould be undertaken.
