A Clear and Independent Survey for Homebuyers
The RPSA Home Buyer / Condition Survey is designed specifically for people purchasing a home. Produced to the standards of the Residential Property Surveyors Association (RPSA), it gives a clear, practical picture of the property’s condition without unnecessary technical jargon.
Unlike some reports that are written more for lenders than buyers, the RPSA Home Buyer Survey is written with you, the purchaser, in mind. It is straightforward, easy to read, and designed to help you make confident, informed decisions.
What the Survey Covers
The Condition Survey is a mid-level option, giving you detailed insight into the property’s overall state while keeping the report clear and accessible.
It includes:
- Visual inspection of the interior and exterior, including roofs, walls, windows, doors, services, and permanent outbuildings (where accessible).
- Clear condition ratings, showing which parts of the property are sound, which need attention soon, and which require urgent repair.
- Identification of issues such as damp, timber decay, movement, or roof defects.
- Legal and safety matters that your solicitor should review.
- Commentary on energy efficiency, with practical notes on insulation, heating, and performance.
When to Choose an RPSA Home Buyer Survey
This survey is ideal if you are buying:
- A conventional home (house, flat, or bungalow) in average condition.
- A property built in the 20th century or later, without unusual construction.
- A home where you want a clear and balanced report without the depth of a full Building Survey.
For older or more complex properties, the RPSA Building Survey would be the more appropriate choice.
