Why Choose a RICS Level 1 Condition Appraisal?

You should get a RICS Level 1 Condition Appraisal Liverpool first because:

When Should You Choose a Level 1 Condition Appraisal?
The Level 1 Condition Appraisal in Liverpool is most effective for specific types of properties and situations. We recommend the following scenarios:
- Modern and Recently Built Properties: If the home you want to buy is fairly new (within the last 10 years), a Level 1 Condition Appraisal should be enough. Most new homes come with warranties and guarantees, so you don’t need to do a more in-depth survey.
- Properties in Good Visible Condition: In cases where the property has been well taken care of and there are no obvious signs of damage or wear and tear, a Level 1 Condition Appraisal will give you the peace of mind you need without going into too much detail about the structure.
- Low-Risk Properties: This type of survey is ideal for buildings that have not undergone significant changes or renovations. If you know the property has been well-maintained, a basic survey might suffice to ensure its condition.
What is included in a Level 1 Condition Appraisal?
The Level 1 Condition Appraisal in Liverpool is not as comprehensive as higher-level surveys but provides a useful overview of the property’s main components. An RICS Level 1 Condition Appraisal conducted by Lansdown Associates will cover:
- Exterior: The condition of the roof, walls, windows, and external doors will be visually assessed. This helps to identify any superficial damage that may need addressing.
- Interior: We will conduct a basic check of the walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors. While this appraisal does not include a detailed investigation of structural aspects, it will highlight any obvious defects such as damp patches, cracks, or uneven floors.
- Service Systems: The general condition of visible heating, electrical, and plumbing installations will be noted. However, it is important to remember that a Level 1 Condition Appraisal does not include in-depth testing or inspection of these systems.
- Outbuildings: The survey will include a visual inspection of any garages, sheds, or other outbuildings on the property, if applicable.
How to Prepare for a Level 1 Condition Appraisal
Prepare for a Level 1 Condition Appraisal Liverpool with simple steps. This survey does not require any intrusive tests or inspections. To ensure a smooth process, do the following:
- Make the Property Accessible: Ensure that all areas of the property, including lofts, basements, and outbuildings, are easily accessible to the surveyor. This will help them perform a thorough visual inspection.
- Provide Relevant Documentation: If you have any documentation relating to recent repairs, warranties, or guarantees, it may be helpful to have them ready for the surveyor to review.
- Be Available: While you don’t need to be present during the survey, being there can help the surveyor answer questions.
