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.
