What is the Cost of a House Survey?
The average cost of a house survey in the UK is currently £470, based on the average UK house price of £285,000.
A Home Survey is an essential part of the house-buying process. It can provide you with crucial details about the home such as the materials it is built from, its estimated age and the condition it is in. Most importantly it can highlight potential issues and defects that aren’t obvious during viewings.
The house survey cost will depend on various factors such as the size, value and location of the home. It will also depend on the surveyor you opt for.
However, the cost will be largely influenced by the type of survey you need. The RICS Home Survey Level 2 is arguably the most popular survey type, costing an average of £424.
The most thorough survey is the RICS Home Survey Level 3, with an average cost of £578. Keep in mind that these costs will vary, with surveys costing more in areas such as London or for unusually built homes.
