Residential Building Surveys in Lancashire
Buying a home is a major step. A survey gives you a clearer view of the property before you buy. It can show signs of damp, cracks, roof wear, poor repairs and other faults.
MBS offers RICS Level 2 and Level 3 Home Surveys. A Level 2 survey may suit a home in fair condition with no major changes. A Level 3 survey gives a fuller check and may suit older, larger or altered homes.
HomeBuyer survey Lancashire is still a common search term. RICS now calls this type of survey the RICS Home Survey Level 2.
MBS records visible faults and areas that may need repair. The report sets out the main findings in clear and simple terms. It can also note where more checks may be needed.
