Pre-Purchase Survey

Any inspection of a property carried out before purchase to assess its condition and identify defects. The three RICS levels are: Level 1 (Condition Report - basic), Level 2 (HomeBuyer Report - mid-range), and Level 3 (Building Survey - comprehensive). Identifying whether an existing extension was built with planning and building regulations approval is an important pre-purchase check.
