Level 1 - Entry Level Survey
Brusby Surveyors are regulated and accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)
Our surveyors are fully qualified RICS chartered building surveyors and can provide all the different levels of RICS survey for residential properties:
- RICS Level 1 (Previously known as a Condition Report)
- RICS Level 2 (Previously known as a Homebuyers Report)
- RICS Level 3 (Previously known as a Building Survey)
The RICS Level 1 Survey Report is intended to provide a concise and easily understandable description – using a RED, GREEN and AMBER traffic light system to identify the condition of various aspects of the property, and provide an indication of any defects which are likely to require urgent attention.
Although Level 1 Reports provide a good overall indication of the condition of a property, they are limited in scope and don’t include any advice or recommendations on the repair or maintenance of any defects identified, or the likely costs. It also doesn’t cover less serious defects which, though minor, may also lead to repair costs.
The RICS Level 1 Report is generally intended for relatively new and conventional properties up to 10 - 12 years old. The lower fee for the report is representative of the reduced detail provided, and in most cases we would recommend that it’s better to opt for a more comprehensive survey either: 'RICS Level 2' or 'RICS Level 3'.
We offer the RICS Level 1 Report option as we recognise that clients have varied budgets, prior knowledge and requirements and we strive to provide best value. However, we will always advise you on the most appropriate survey based on the location, age and type of property you are intending on purchasing to protect your interests and investment.
