What is an RICS Homebuyer Report?

An RICS Homebuyer Report is a detailed visual inspection of the property. This survey provides an account of the property’s condition and highlights significant problems with a straightforward ‘traffic light’ rating. It focuses on urgent or significant defects that may affect the value of the property. It is also referred to as a Level 2 Survey.

When should you choose an RICS Homebuyer Report?

An RICS Homebuyer report is most suitable for conventional houses, flats, or bungalows that are in reasonable condition and built from common building materials. A Homebuyer Report is not recommended for older buildings, as these builds often require a more in-depth Level 3 survey.

Armed with market-leading expertise, our RICS-qualified surveying team use the standard traffic light system to make understanding the health of your property easy. This system breaks down into three key colour codes:

Green: No action required

Amber: Defects requiring attention and repair but not urgently

Red: Serious defects requiring urgent attention and repair
