Making Home Buyer Reports Understandable
It is no understatement to say that buying a home is likely to be one of the biggest decisions you make in your lifetime. Few, if any, other decisions carry the same level of financial commitment or come with the same consequences. The result of this is that buying a home is universally regarded as one of the single most stressful experiences you can go through. While there is help and support available for this, it can sometimes be difficult to know where to start. This is particularly the case when it comes to the RICS homebuyer reports we produce.
RICS is the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. As a member of this institute, we have met the very highest standards possible in our work and have gained the necessary accreditation. A RICS format homebuyer report may sound complex, but this is not the case when you are working with us. To be accepted as a RICS member, we do not only have to make sure the work is accurate, but that it can be accessed and understood by all relevant parties. When it comes to homebuyer reports, the RICS guidelines are clear. While the report must feature all relevant information about the house, it must be presented in plain English. While our work as surveyors involves terminology which is exclusive to our profession, homebuyer reports must be produced in a manner that is free of such jargon.
We agree entirely with the importance of this aspect of RICS approved homebuyer guides. The language used in them must be easy to understand, and provide clear information which is relevant to the house purchasing decision. If a report cannot be easily read and understood by the prospective homebuyer, then it has not succeeded.
We ensure that our homebuyer reports meet the criteria set out by RICS, and our team are always happy to give further assistance in regards of all our homebuyer report work. When you come to us, you can always expect to receive a report which offers all the help, information and support it was designed to.
