Choosing between Surveys

Allied Surveyors
A brief description of the types of reports available

Valuation Report
A brief report in respect of value only which can be used for a variety of purposes including mortgage security, taxation, probate and family issues but does not constitute a survey.

RICS Homebuyer Survey and Valuation
This economy service for purchasers, devised by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, involves a more detailed inspection and report than a valuation. It is generally considered suitable for relatively modern, traditional properties and will include comment on all visible sections of the property, a market valuation and recommended reinstatement cost for insurance purposes.

Building Survey (sometimes referred to as a Structural Survey)
This is the most detailed type of report available, and is particularly suitable for individual properties, including large, extended or older buildings. The report will include full details of all visible elements of the building and items of disrepair and defect. It will also include information relating to the method of construction, condition of the structure and likely future repairs. A recommended reinstatement cost for insurance purposes is included but the report does not include a valuation.
