Level 1 · RICS Home Survey
A basic condition report for modern, conventional homes.
The most economical RICS Home Survey. A basic visual inspection presented with clear traffic-light ratings — ideal for newer, conventional properties in apparently good order.
Best suited to
- Newer properties in good condition
- Conventional construction (brick, block, tile)
- Buyers who need reassurance, not detailed repair advice
What's included
- Visual inspection of the property's main elements
- Traffic-light condition ratings for each element
- Summary of risks and matters for your legal adviser
- Concise report written in plain English
A note from the practice
A Level 1 survey is deliberately basic and limited in scope. It does not include repair advice, repair costings or maintenance guidance. For period, altered or older properties, we usually recommend a Level 2 or Level 3 survey instead.
