Home Condition Survey
What is a Home Condition Survey?
A Home Condition Survey (HCS) will help you to understand the pros and cons of your potential purchase, gives you peace of mind – and can save you thousands of pounds later down the line.
An HCS is a plain English, jargon-free report on the property’s condition.
Why do I need One?
In a HCS the RICS surveyor will inspect and report on the below:
• Signs of subsidence
• Report on dangerous materials such as signs of asbestos
• Reports on signs of infestations such as rats and bats
• Checks drains
• Checks utilities including boiler and electric meter
• Inspects loft space
• Inspects roof
• Looks for signs of damp
• Reinstatement value
How Long Does It take?
Once the surveyor has inspected the property they will write up and produce a report for the client within 3-5 working days.
