Residential Property Surveys

Our Condition Reports are the most basic property survey offered by Skyline Property Surveys.  It is typically suited for modern properties in good condition and provides an overview of the property’s general state. 

Read on for for the Key features:

1. Visual Inspection Only:  No intrusive investigations (e.g., lifting carpets or moving furniture). Focuses on visible defects or potential risks.
2. Traffic-Light Ratings: The condition of different elements of the property (e.g., walls, roof, windows) is rated using a traffic-light system: Green: No repair needed. Amber: Defects that need repair but are not urgent. Red: Serious defects requiring immediate attention.
3. General Overview: Highlights significant issues such as structural problems or dampness. Includes comments on legal matters like boundary disputes or guarantees for construction.
4. For Whom It's Suitable:  Buyers purchasing relatively new or well-maintained properties. Sellers who want to identify potential issues before putting the property on the market.

Limitations:

• Does not provide detailed advice on repairs or maintenance.
• No in-depth analysis of defects or potential future problems.
• Not suitable for older, larger, or properties in poor condition. For these, a Level 2 (HomeBuyer Report) or Level 3 (Building Survey) may be more appropriate.

When to Use a Level 1 Survey:

• The property is modern, relatively small, and appears to be in good condition.
• You are confident there are no significant issues requiring detailed analysis.
