The Homebuyers Survey and Valuation was introduced by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) in the 1980s.
They are generally completed with a standard format as laid down by the RICS although Osborne Irish have adapted their own format for your ease of reading.
They are the most frequently undertaken survey providing a more in depth report on the condition of the property giving professional advice allowing you to make an informed choice of whether to purchase the property or not.
