By contrast, the Homebuyer Service is in a standard format and is designed specifically as an economy service. This type of survey is intended for properties that are post-1850, seem to be in reasonable condition and are conventional in type and construction. It therefore differs materially from a Building Survey in two major respects. It is intended only for particular types of home, Houses, Flats and Bungalows which are:
Conventional in type and construction
Apparently in reasonable condition
It focuses on essentials
Defects and problems which areurgentor significant and thus have an effect on the value of the property - although it also includes much other valuation information. The Homebuyer Service unlike a Building Survey, provides not only a survey but also a valuation as an integral part of the Service.
It is a concise report, and uses general phrases with regard to condition, features, etc. It will help you in making decisions on purchases, but may require further investigation on some specific details.
