RICS CONDition Reports Level 1

This is the most basic survey and provides a concise overview of a property’s condition. RICS level 1 condition reports focuses on significant issues that could affect the property’s value and includes a “traffic light” system to rate the severity of defects. It is suitable for relatively new or well-maintained properties where major concerns are unlikely.

RICS Level 2 Building Survey

The RICS Level 2 building survey is a more detailed and comprehensive inspection, suitable for a wide range of property types in Norfolk. It provides an in-depth analysis of the property’s condition, highlighting defects, potential issues, and necessary repairs. This survey is particularly helpful for older or non-standard properties and offers recommendations for addressing problems.

RICS Level 3 Building Survey

The RICS Level 3 building survey is the most extensive and detailed option, offering a comprehensive analysis of the property’s structure and condition. It provides a thorough assessment of the building’s construction, materials, and any potential defects or issues. This survey is suitable for complex or very old properties and includes detailed advice on repairs and maintenance.

RICS Homebuyer Report

While technically not a building survey, the RICS HomeBuyer Report includes a concise assessment of the property’s condition, similar to a Level 2 survey. It is suitable for standard properties and provides an overview of any significant defects, with recommendations for further investigation or action. It can also include a valuation.

Valuation Reports

Valuation reports focus on determining the market value of a property in Norfolk. It is often required for mortgage purposes or when buying or selling a property. The report assesses the property’s current market worth based on various factors, including location, condition, and comparable sales.

Party Wall Surveys

A party wall survey is a specialised type of survey conducted by a chartered surveyor in Norfolk to assess and document the condition and potential impact of construction work on shared walls, structures, or boundaries between adjoining properties. These surveys are typically required under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 in the UK or similar legislation in other regions. The surveyor’s role is to establish the rights and obligations of property owners, ensuring that construction work does not cause damage or encroach on neighboring properties. The surveyor may produce a party wall award, a legally binding document that outlines the terms of the proposed construction and how any disputes or damages will be resolved. Party wall surveys in Norfolk play a crucial role in facilitating amicable relationships between property owners during construction projects.

Expert Witness

An expert witness survey is a specialized service provided by our network of chartered surveyors in Norfolk who act as expert witnesses in legal proceedings, typically related to property disputes, property litigation, or construction-related issues. Our network of surveyors are called upon to provide professional opinions, analysis, and testimony in a court of law or other legal forums. Expert witnesses play a crucial role in helping judges, juries, and legal professionals understand complex technical and property-related matters. Their expert opinions are based on their extensive knowledge and experience in areas such as building construction, property valuation, boundary disputes, defects, or other real estate issues. Expert witness surveys in Norfolk often involve producing detailed reports and providing oral testimony in court to help resolve disputes, determine liability, and ensure that legal decisions are based on accurate and credible information. The aim is to assist the legal process by providing impartial and authoritative expertise to reach fair and informed resolutions in property-related cases.

Land Surveys

Land surveys conducted by our network of chartered property surveyors in Norfolk encompass a range of essential services designed to assess and define the boundaries, conditions, and characteristics of land parcels.

Whether determining property boundaries, evaluating topography, ensuring construction accuracy, or assessing flood risks, our network of chartered surveyors in Norfolk provide crucial expertise to support informed decision-making and legal compliance related to land use and management.

Schedule of Condition Surveys

A Schedule of Condition survey is a detailed assessment conducted by a chartered surveyor to document and record the existing condition of a property, often before a lease or tenancy agreement begins. It provides a comprehensive and photographic record of the property’s state, including its structural condition, fixtures, and fittings. The purpose of this survey is to protect the interests of both the landlord and the tenant by establishing a clear baseline for the property’s condition at the start of the lease. Any pre-existing issues or defects are recorded, which can help prevent disputes and ensure that each party is aware of the property’s condition prior to occupancy. This type of survey is commonly used in commercial leases but may also be relevant in residential tenancy agreements.
