Home Condition Survey

Buying a house is a major investment. One that you really need to make an informed decision about. That’s exactly what the Home condition Survey allows you to do.

It has been developed exclusively for home buyers, and offers comprehensive benefits that other surveys just don’t offer – and does it much quicker than in the usual timeframe, and at a fraction of the usual cost of a full structural survey.

Delivered by specially trained and fully accredited residential property surveyors, your Home Condition Survey gives you a plain English, jargon-free report on the condition of the property using a simple 1,2,3 rating guide so you will understand any risks or unforeseen expenditure that could crop up when you are settled in.

Your Home Condition Survey tells you about any aspects of the property that need urgent attention or which present serious faults, and it tells you about ongoing maintenance that you might have to plan for.

Your Home Condition Survey means you will know all you need to know about the house you are about to buy.

Home Condition Survey Will:

  • Identify and major problems with the home you are buying
  • Highlight any hidden areas of possible concern that need further investigation
  • Give you a simple 1,2,3 condition rating of all key elements of the property.
  • Deliver a comprehensive and jargon free report
  • Help you plan for future expenditure
  • Be carried out by accredited and comprehensively insured surveyors

Home Condition Survey will tell you about:

  • Building condition and defects
  • Any structural movement
  • Damp, rot and woodworm
  • Heating and electrical services
  • Alterations
  • Drains
  • Environmental issues
  • The reinstatement cost you need for building insurance

Putting the buyer in control

Buying a house is stressful and it is not always in the seller’s best interests to be fully open about its quirks and shortcomings. That is when your SAVA surveyor comes in.
Home Condition Survey offers a thorough, comprehensive and easy to follow report for a fraction of the cost of a full structural survey, putting you in a stronger position to negotiate with the seller.
