The pictures above show the now survey surveyor training day held recently to update our surveyors on the new requirements of the RICS Homebuyer Survey.
After a number of years the RICS have decided to update the Homebuyers Survey and the new report format is now in its transitional period with full roll out and implementation due by the end of March 2010.
At now survey we will be trialling the new report during the next few months and hope to have the roll out complete by February of next year.
The new survey report differs from the current report in many ways, but most obviously it introduces the idea of condition ratings for elements of the building based upon a traffic light system making it far easier for potential purchasers to understand the significance of defects found during the survey inspection.
One of our surveyors, Claire Bayliss, spent two hours running through the changes in detail and provided examples of defects and how to rate them for our surveyors.
