This report is appropriate if you are buying a conventional house, flat or bungalow
built from common building materials and in reasonable condition. This service
includes:
- A visual inspection that is less comprehensive than the RICS Home Survey – Level 2 and the RICS Home Survey – Level 3
- Clear ‘traffic light’ ratings of the condition of different parts of the building, services, and the grounds, showing problems that may require varying degrees of attention
- A summary of risks to the building, people and grounds and.
- An assessment of the relative importance of the defects and problems. No tests of the building fabric or services are undertaken.
The RICS Home Survey – Level 1 does not include advice on repairs or ongoing
maintenance and it does not include a valuation.
