Which Survey is right for me?


In addition to the RICS Home Surveys available Brampton Home Surveys offer custom services for use in particular, limited circumstances where an RICS Home Survey may not be appropriate.

Brampton Home Surveys Auction Survey 

This service is designed for clients seeking a professional and objective report on the condition of an Auction Property where access to undertake the Survey is restricted and/or limited.
  • This level of service includes a visual inspection that is less extensive than for the other survey levels. No tests of the building fabric or services are undertaken.
  • The report details typical maintenance that is required to the building, its services and the grounds to ensure that it is habitable.
  • The report objectively describes urgent repairs to the building, its services and the grounds. 
  • It highlights relevant legal issues and any obvious risks to the building, people or grounds.

Brampton Home Surveys Snagging Survey

This service is designed for clients seeking a professional and objective report on the presence of snagging items / items that required making good to a newly built property.

  • This level of service includes a visual inspection that is less extensive than for the other survey levels. No tests of the building fabric or services are undertaken.
  • It highlights relevant legal issues and any obvious risks to the building, people or grounds. 
  • The report is succinct and provides a list of the snagging items / items that required making good in a logical order so that the Builder or Developer has a clear reference document.

This level of service is for new build properties only.

The Brampton HomeBuyer Report

The Brampton HomeBuyer Report is equivalent to RICS HomeBuyer Report (Survey). 

The Brampton HomeBuyer Report is best suited to a conventional house, flat or bungalow, built from common building materials and in reasonable condition but does not include a valuation or a Reinstatement Cost Assessment.

The difference between these HomeBuyer Reports is the presentation of the Report. The RICS HomeBuyer Report (Survey) is text based and follows a strict format. 

The Brampton HomeBuyer Report provides an overall assessment of condition, detail on the items that require repair and explanatory reference photographs.

We charge the same fees for both The RICS HomeBuyer Report (Survey) and The Brampton HomeBuyer Report.
