The RICS Condition Report provides you with important information not covered by a mortgage valuation. It includes an inspection of all aspects of the property you’re thinking of buying, identifies the risks and legal considerations, and includes a section of advice for your solicitor. The report uses a simple traffic light (red, amber, green) colour code to rate individual elements of the property and highlights any areas of concern. An overview provides you with information on the construction of the property, details of any serious problems that require attention, and details of anything that should be investigated before you commit to the purchase.
