Homes & Property in RICS Home Surveys Leicestershire
Property Types in Leicestershire
Leicestershire has a varied housing stock, ranging from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and traditional village cottages to inter-war family homes, modern developments and substantial rural properties.
The age, construction and extent of alteration can all influence the most appropriate survey.
Victorian & Edwardian Homes
Common throughout Leicester, Loughborough, Market Harborough and many of the county’s established towns. Typical considerations include ageing roofs, chimney deterioration, dampness, timber floors, older services and historic alterations.
Inter-War & Post-War Homes
Semi-detached and detached houses dating from the 1920s through to the 1960s are widespread across the county. Common issues include roof ageing, alterations, extensions, drainage, subfloor ventilation and replacement windows.
Village & Period Properties
Leicestershire’s villages contain traditional brick and stone cottages, farmhouses and individual period homes. These can incorporate solid walls, traditional materials, historic alterations and older drainage systems.
Modern Homes & Apartments
Modern housing is widespread around Leicester and the county’s growing towns and villages. Although generally more straightforward, workmanship, ventilation, insulation, drainage and alterations can still require attention.
Converted & Unusual Properties
Barn conversions, former agricultural buildings and individually designed homes can involve non-standard construction and extensive alterations, making a more detailed assessment particularly valuable.
New-Build Homes
For recently completed properties, a New Home Snagging Survey can identify workmanship and finishing defects before or shortly after completion.
Choosing the Right Survey in Leicestershire
The appropriate survey depends on the property’s age, construction, condition, size and complexity.
RICS Home Survey Level 2
Often appropriate for conventional houses and apartments of traditional construction that appear to be in reasonable condition.
A Level 2 survey provides clear advice on the property’s condition, significant defects and matters requiring attention.
RICS Home Survey Level 3
Our most detailed RICS Home Survey, generally appropriate for older, larger, substantially altered, unusual or more complex properties.
It provides greater explanation of defects, likely causes, repairs and ongoing maintenance.
Independent Valuation
An independent market valuation can also be provided where required, helping you consider whether the agreed purchase price is reasonable having regard to local market evidence.
Not Sure Which Survey You Need?
Every property is different. Our team can help you select the appropriate survey based on the individual property before you book.
Types of Survey
Property Survey when buying a house in Leicestershire
We can offer you a full range of survey reports from the RICS Home Surveys product suite designed to meet your requirements and budget.
All of our surveys are regulated by RICS.
There are several survey options to choose from. The most popular reports are Level 3 (Building/Structural Survey) and the economy version Level 2 (Survey & Valuation) often referred to as a Homebuyer Report.
It is very important to select the correct report option – the option most suitable for the type of property you are buying.
Surveyors Opinion: “A popular choice – Level 2 is a good all-round inspection & report service suitable for most homes built since the 1960’s – Less detailed than Level 3 – the minimum entry level survey for homebuyers”
Surveyors Opinion: “Level 3 is essential if you need the most detailed information & advice – particularly if you are buying a property that may be complex, substantially altered, very old or in a run-down condition. The market valuation advice is key if you want to make sure you are making a sound investment!”
If you are unsure, then we can discuss & advise you further on the best choice.
