Survey services

Camsure Homes' offering is organised into levels of inspection and complementary valuation services:

• RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Survey: an inspection focused on assessing the property's condition and highlighting significant issues before purchase. It includes traffic light condition ratings, identification of urgent defects, a summary of legal issues and a clear, jargon-free report.
• RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Survey with Valuation: adds to Level 2 an independent market valuation, the insurance rebuild cost and negotiation leverage on price.
• RICS Level 3 Home Building Survey: the most comprehensive report, with in-depth structural analysis, advice on repairs and maintenance, and coverage of hidden or complex defects. It is aimed at older, larger or non-standard properties, typically built before 1930, as well as unique or dilapidated properties.

Specialist valuations

Alongside surveys, the firm offers valuation services for tax, lending and insurance purposes:

• RICS 'Red Book' Valuation: a written report valid for multiple purposes, such as Help to Buy, Shared Ownership or tax purposes, with the option to add rebuild costs to any survey.
• Insurance reinstatement valuations: determine the appropriate level of cover so that the property is correctly insured against the full cost of rebuilding.

Surveys for repairs and habitability

Camsure Homes also acts in housing disrepair claims. Its RICS-regulated surveyors carry out inspections to identify structural problems, damp and mould, and produce reports compliant with RICS standards, as well as acting as impartial expert witnesses supporting both the defence and the claimant in disrepair cases in England and South Wales.
