If you’re looking to buy what appears to be a well-maintained property in Greater Manchester or Lancashire, a HomeBuyer report from the Chartered Surveyors at Core Plus will be exactly what you’re after.
When obtaining a mortgage, it’s important that you’re paying the right price for the property. Our HomeBuyer surveys can help ensure the valuation is correct.
Core Plus HomeBuyer reports will put your mind at rest and allow you to make an informed decision on what’s likely to be one of the biggest purchases of your life. Performed by our experienced Chartered Surveyors, a HomeBuyer report can save you money and help you get your dream house, avoiding some of the nightmare scenarios you often hear about.
What Is A HomeBuyer Report?
HomeBuyer reports are becoming an increasingly popular way to help a potential purchaser make a decision on whether to buy a property or not. They are best suited to be compiled for properties which are conventionally constructed, built from common materials, relatively modern (usually less than 100 years old) and are, aesthetically at least, in reasonable condition.
A HomeBuyer report follows a standardised format set out by the RICS (Royal Institute Of Chartered Surveyors). It’s designed to concisely provide all the all survey details that could affect the valuation of a property. Most sections come complete with an easy-to-follow green, amber, red, “traffic light” system too.
Some of the key things detailed within your HomeBuyers report will include:
- Comments on the general condition of the building
- Details of any environmental issues and their location
- Information regarding any health and safety concerns
- Recommendations for any additional investigations, if required
- Details of any useful information for your solicitor to look into
- An open market valuation
- An approximate cost for reinstatement (for buildings insurance purposes)
- Advice to help you plan for current and future costs and expenditure
What’s The Difference Between A HomeBuyer Report And A Building Survey?
The main difference between a HomeBuyer report and a building survey boils down to the detail contained.
A HomeBuyer report is suited to conventionally constructed buildings, usually from the Victorian period onwards, that are in reasonable condition. The HomeBuyers report will highlight problems such as damp and subsidence and will offer guidance on type of work, repairs and ongoing maintenance. It’s a non-intrusive inspection and will detail “surface level” problems, whereas a building survey inspection will go further and be much more “hands-on”.
If you have concerns that the property might have major defects or construction failings, or if the property is older or a listed building for example, you’ll need a building survey / structural survey, as opposed to a HomeBuyer report.
