Home Buyer Survey and Valuation (HBR)

What it is

The Home Buyer Survey and Valuation is a private report supplied to you as a prospective buyer.

It's a pro-forma document about 8-10 pages long designed by the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors).

What it does

The report is only meant to tell you about any significant or major progressive defects - and to show how these defects might affect the valuation.

It won't tell you how to put any defects right - it will simply advise you to make further investigations.

What you need to know

  • It doesn't give you the full story about the property.
  • We are working for you - the contract is between you, as buyer, and us as the surveyor.

What we think

We don't recommend this type of survey - we believe it doesn't really give you enough information, or enough detail to make a really informed decision whether or not to buy the property. You can get much more information for the same money with the Full Building Survey.
