How to check the real state of real estate?

HSV - A Homebuyers Survey Valuation - is a check for defects and hidden problems when the test is performed on damp walls, checks the status of protection against moisture, the presence and condition of insulation. Check the condition of fireplaces, attics, chimneys, wood structures, and in particular the presence of mould which affects the condition of the property as a whole.

Also examined are areas belonging to the house; the garden, garage and fencing. Electricity, gas, central heating and plumbing are also examined. Experts compare the price of the property with the market as a whole as well as estimate the cost of reconstruction in case of fire. An expert opinion will give the real value of property.

This check is practiced in real estate, built in the 20th century, particularly from the 20s to the end of the last century.

Building Survey - a thorough check.

During a survey every possible check is made to detect defects with the property. Checks are made for damp walls, the quality of materials used in construction, condition and specifications of design, condition of timber (for the presence of mould and insects), protection from moisture, drainage, insulation and location of the facility.

As a result the approximate cost of necessary repairs is assessed and directions for future inspections if required, is made.

This survey is recommended if you are buying a house or apartment in an old house built before the 1920s or are under state listing (necessary if you plan reconstruction), or if you plan to buy an unusual previously rebuilt property.

In the case of buying a new home built not more than 10 years ago a full survey would not be necessarily be required because the property is subject to a builder’s warranty. If you encounter problems, you can contact the organization Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors - RICS.
