The RICS Level 1 Home Survey, also known as the Condition Report, is the most affordable option for property buyers seeking a basic overview of a property's condition. This survey includes a visual inspection of the building, its services, and grounds – but is less detailed than a Level 2 or Level 3 survey.

This report is ideal for modern, conventionally built homes that appear to be in good condition and where no major renovation or repair is anticipated. It does not include advice on repairs, maintenance, or costs, making it less suitable for older properties, unusual constructions, or homes showing clear signs of disrepair.

At MCG Surveying Services, we follow the official RICS-approved reporting format, providing a clear and easy-to-understand summary that highlights any serious issues requiring urgent attention. It’s a smart first step for buyers looking for peace of mind when purchasing a newer or recently refurbished home.

Best suited for:

New or recently built homes.

Properties in generally good condition.

Buyers seeking a low-cost, entry-level survey.
