A valuation is not a survey
If there’s one misunderstanding we deal with daily, it’s that many mortgage applicants expect our valuer to conduct a survey when, in reality, he/she is there to carry out a mortgage valuation.

RICS Condition Report
What is it?
- A clear and concise ‘snapshot’ of the condition of the property you’re thinking of buying
- A summary of the main risks associated with the purchase
- A survey report that provides important guidance at an affordable price
- Your survey report, prepared independently for you, not your lender.
What's included?
The RICS Condition Report provides you with important information not covered by a mortgage valuation. It includes an inspection of all aspects of the property you’re thinking of buying, identifies the risks and legal considerations, and includes a section of advice for your solicitor.
The report uses a simple traffic light (red, amber, green) colour code to rate individual elements of the property and highlights any areas of concern.
An overview provides you with information on the construction of the property, details of any serious problems that require attention, and details of anything that should be investigated before you commit to the purchase.
