OUR SURVEYING SERVICES

The following gives a very brief overview of the different surveys available with ACA Surveyors. When considering the possible purchase of the property the choices are as follows:

• Full Building Survey   (Level 3).
• Homebuyer Report  (Level 2) (previously called a Homebuyer Survey and Valuation).
• Valuation only.
• Help To Buy Valuations.
• Structural Inspection (General and Specific).
• Home Condition Survey and RICS Condition Survey (Level 1).

   

  Full Building Survey (Level 3)

  This will be carried out by Glenn who is a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Glenn will look at the complete property and give a detailed opinion regarding the state of the building. It is particularly suitable for older properties or properties which have had major alterations over the years or properties which appear to have problems that need further investigation.

   

  Homebuyer Report (Level 2) (previously called a Homebuyer Survey and Valuation)

  This is suitable for all house's and is usually the most popular product.

   

  Valuations

  A Valuation only  will be carried out by Glenn who is a RICS registered valuer. This type of survey is usually done for the peace of mind of the prospective buyer.

   

  Home Condition Survey and RICS Condition Report (Level 1)

  A Home Condition Survey (Level 1) has some similarity to a Homebuyer Report (Level 2) but it does not address the question of value. These are carried out by Glenn who is a member of the accreditation scheme operated by SAVA . The RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) have also introduced an equivalent survey called a RICS Condition Report (Level 1) which is carried out by Glenn a licensed Surveyor.
