Houses can be money pits and buying a house is a major investment – so the homebuyer really needs to be able to make an informed decision. This is where the Home Condition Survey (HCS) comes in and the property surveyor who would complete the home survey.
Many prospective purchasers of residential property do not fully appreciate that the mortgage valuation insisted on by the lender is done almost entirely to protect the interests of the lender and to ensure that there is sufficient collateral to support their loan.It is in no way intended to provide genuinely useful information to the buyer and potential owner as to the precise condition of the property they are looking to purchase and how much potentially they may have to spend in maintaining it properly.This is where the HCS comes in.
The HCS is a clear and concise and jargon free report on the condition of a domestic property. The specialist property surveyor gives a cost effective service and will inspect and report on the property quickly, allowing the homebuyer to make a speedy and informed decision.
Delivered by specially trained and fully accredited residential property surveyors, the HCS gives the buyer a plain English, jargon-free report on the condition of the property using a simple 1,2,3 rating guide, so it is easy to understand any risks or unforeseen expenditure that could crop up.In this sense the survey is very much like a homebuyers survey.
Buying a house can be stressful and it is not always in the seller’s best interests to be fully open about its quirks and idiosyncrasies. The HCS tells the buyer about any aspects of the property that need urgent attention or which present serious faults, as well as any longer term repairs that a home owner might have to plan for.
The Home Condition Survey can only be produced by fully qualified and accredited members of SAVA –an organisation which trains and accredits the work of residential property surveyors. Homebuyers can be assured of a comprehensive report produced by a professional, trustworthy individual.
The aim of the Home Condition Survey is to make the home survey process quicker, easier and more cost-effective for homebuyers – something that is now more important than ever.
