An RICS Residential Surveyor is a professional surveyor accredited and regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), specialising in assessing residential properties. They provide expert advice on a property's construction, condition, and potential issues.

RICS surveyors adhere to high professional and ethical standards, ensuring accurate, unbiased property assessments. Using an RICS surveyor provides peace of mind to buyers before ownership.

It depends. If the survey uncovers significant defects or problems that you were not aware of and have not accounted for then you may be able to renegotiate based on the new information. Providing the relevant sections of the survey report can help justify any renegotiation by providing clear and visual evidence of the defect.

We recommend booking your survey after your solicitor has received the contract from the seller and if you are purchasing with a mortgage, once you are in receipt of the offer from the lender. This allows time to identify any issues before contracts are exchanged.
