C1).
The Report provides the
Surveyor's opinion of those matters which are urgent or significant
and need action or evaluation by the Client before contracts
are exchanged. It includes some or all of the following:
- urgent repairs (eg.
gas leak; defective chimney stacks) - for which the Client
should obtain (and may have to pay for) reports and quotations
from suitable contractors
- significant matters
requiring further investigation where essential (eg. suspected
subsidence) - for which the Client should obtain (and
may have to pay for) reports and quotations from suitable
contractors
- significant but not
urgent repairs and renewals (eg. new covering for flat
roof before long)
- other significant considerations
(eg. some potential source of inconvenience) which the
Surveyor wishes to draw to the attention of the Client
- legal matters (eg.
a possible right of way) which the client should instruct
the Legal Advisers to include their inquiries.
C2).
Matters assessed as not
urgent or not significant are outside the scope of the Homebuyer
Service and are generally not reported; however, other matters
(such as safety) are reported where the Surveyor judges this
to be helpful and constructive. If a part or area normally
examined is found to be not accessible during the Inspection,
this is reported; if a problem is suspected, advice is given
on what action should be taken.
C3). The
Report is in a standard format arranged in the following sequence:
Introduction & Overall Opinion; The Property & Location;
The Building; The Services & Site; Legal & Other Matters;
Summary; Valuation. In the case of leaseholds, the Report
is accompanied by a standard appendix called Leasehold Properties.
