A surveyor is a professional who is trained to assess the value, condition, and suitability of a property. RICS Surveyors are typically hired by buyers, sellers, or lenders to provide an independent assessment of a property, and their expertise is often used to inform decisions about buying, selling, or financing a property.
There are several types of surveys that a surveyor can conduct, including a condition report (which provides a brief overview of the condition of the property), a homebuyer report (which provides a more detailed assessment of the property’s condition and highlights any issues that may need attention), and a full building survey (which is a comprehensive assessment of the property’s condition and includes a detailed report on any issues or defects).
