Five things to consider when buying a new build home in 2025
Buyer incentives, lower maintenance and bills versus space and the new-build premium — five things to weigh before buying new.
Read →Previously known as the 'condition report', the level one RICS survey is the most affordable survey available. With this affordability, comes a basic - yet comprehensive survey of a property. The level one RICS home survey is typically aimed at newer homes that are made with common materials and are in a generally good condition.
If you're looking to purchase a property that was built more than five to seven years ago, or has visible signs of damage, wear or extensive changes made to its original features, then a level one RICS survey may not be right for you. In this case, we would consider a level two or level three home survey.
Level one RICS surveys are best suited to properties that are relatively new with no obvious signs of damage or wear. Because of this, this makes this survey the most affordable. Although basic, it is still comprehensive, covering everything you may need to know about a newer property, and is delivered in a quicker time frame of just a few days.
A level one RICS survey is the most affordable of surveys, however each survey is tailored to individual properties, therefore the cost can vary slightly. Get in touch and contact our expert team today to arrange your level one RICS survey.
