Building Survey Overview
A Building Survey is the most thorough and detailed report that you can commission on the condition of a property. The survey is usually carried out by a Chartered Surveyor who will be a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in which case he or she will have the letters MRICS or FRICS after his or her name. The RICS ensures that all its members maintain professional standards in their work. When commissioning a Chartered Surveyor to carry out a survey you should be able to feel confident that the results will be appropriate for your needs.

What is a Home Buyer Survey?
A homebuyer survey covers a couple of different types of survey, so you need to make sure you know what you want before placing any orders.
A HomeBuyer Report (which can also include a valuation as an addition) is provided by RICS approved Surveyors. This will not include as much detail as a Building Survey, but typically does highlight anything that will have a affect on the value of the property or anything that will require further attention. It only covers areas that can be seen without having to take any further action – so they will not drill into walls or lift up carpets.
A Homebuyer Survey could be provided by a non-RICS registered Surveyor, or by a Home Inspector or Energy Assessor. This does not have a standard format, so you will really need to discuss your requirements prior to the commencement of any work to make sure you are getting everything you need.

We are delighted with their service. They are very reasonably priced (against some other quotes that we received), the appointment was promptly booked, and the surveyor made the process a breeze. The booking agent was quite humble in his approach and the surveyor was a great guy - we had a lovely discussion around a variety of topics. Highly recommended for your EICR reports!

Satisfied with both EICR and Gas Report. Reasonably quickly scheduled, and reports sent over within 2 days after scheduled appointment. Their prices are quite competitive. I can recommend them!

I received excellent service from Nationwide surveyors especially Alisha and Selina. I had difficulty in liaising with the agent managing our property together with the energy surveyor but both were extremely helpful in organising a suitable time/date for access for the surveyor. I would definitely use their service again and would not hesitate in recommend them to family/friends. The quote they gave was competitive and the was certificate sent promptly once conducted.

Great service from Nationwide Surveyors. I had a EICR done and was very pleased all round. The electrician, Zane, was very friendly and professional when he visited the property. Zane did a very thorough job checking all the electrics were safe to use. Thank you
