What is a Homeowners’ Survey?
A Homeowners’ Survey complies with the standards of a Level 2 Survey in the RICS Home Survey Standard but is designed specifically for Homeowners rather than Homebuyers. It will help you understand the condition of every aspect of your home so you understand what needs doing and when along with detailed maintenance advice. This will help you avoid issues which could turn into expensive repairs if not addressed quickly.
The report will give you the following:
- Clear ‘traffic light’ ratings of the condition of different parts of the building, services, garage and outbuildings, showing problems that may require varying degrees of attention;
- A list of problems that the surveyor considers may affect the property;
- Issues that need to be investigated to prevent serious damage or dangerous conditions;
- Advice on repairs and ongoing maintenance;
- A summary of the risks to the condition of the building;
- A summary of health and safety risks
The report provides information on all elements of the property and includes issues such as structural movement, damp issues, ceilings, walls, floors, electrical and other services etc.

The best way to avoid expensive problems with your home is to have it checked every so often by an independent qualified Chartered Surveyor. If you are planning to market your home for sale, a Homeowners’ Pre-Sale Survey can avoid issues being raised by a potential purchaser’s Surveyor causing concerns and delays.

What is a Homeowners’ Pre-Sale Survey?
A Homeowners’ Pre-Sale Survey gives similar advice but is designed specifically for people who are looking to market their property for sale. It will help you identify issues that would be highlighted by a potential purchaser’s Surveyor, allowing you to address and resolve these issues rather than having them cause concerns, delays and possible aborted sales.
As well as the advice given in the Homeowners’ Survey it will give you the following advice:
- Advice on which issues should be addressed prior to marketing to avoid problems close to exchange of contracts;
- Advice on making sure you have all the necessary paperwork in place where a potential purchaser’s Surveyor will request them;
- Advice on legal matters you will need to make sure are all in place to avoid delays following the potential purchaser’s solicitor’s enquiries
