Class 2 – RICS Homebuyer Survey & Valuation
Class 2 – RICS Homebuyer Survey & Valuation
From £750 + VAT

Many buyers rely on a mortgage valuation for reassurance, but it’s not a survey and it’s not for them. It’s a brief check for the lender to confirm the property is suitable security.
It won’t tell you about the condition, defects, or risks that could cost you thousands.
Commissioning your own survey is a straightforward way to protect your investment. It gives you independent insight into the property’s condition, helping you make informed decisions and avoid costly surprises.
A mortgage valuation isn’t for you, it’s for the lender. If you want real peace of mind, the RICS Homebuyer Survey is the smart choice for most homes built after 1930. It combines condition checks with a market valuation, so you know exactly what you’re buying and whether the price stacks up.
Includes:
- General condition overview
- Significant or urgent issues flagged
- Market valuation and comment on purchase price
- Insurance reinstatement figure
- Legal points for your solicitor
Designed as an economy service in a standard RICS format.
Why It Matters:
A mortgage valuation won’t tell you about defects that could cost thousands. This survey protects your interests, helping you avoid costly surprises and negotiate with confidence.
