Detailed below are the types of Condition survey that De Villiers are able to offer you:

Survey level one: RICS Home Condition Report (HCR)

The RICS Condition Report describes the condition of the property, identifies any risks and potential legal issues and highlights any urgent defects. It uses simple ‘traffic light’ ratings to clearly identify the condition of the key elements of the property. Typically, the lowest priced of the surveys, it is aimed at conventional properties and newer homes.
