Reduce Abortive Work In Property Transactions
Supporting Certainty in Property Transactions
A RICS Home Survey provides an independent assessment of a property’s physical condition. When commissioned early, it helps identify potential issues before legal work is significantly progressed, reducing the likelihood of late-stage surprises that can disrupt a transaction.
Managing Information Early
A RICS Home Survey highlights defects or areas that may require further investigation. Commissioning it early allows:
potential condition issues to be identified before legal work is advanced
practical matters to be addressed on-site where possible
smoother progression toward exchange with fewer last-minute amendments
The objective is to improve the timing and clarity of information that commonly affects transaction progression.
Conveyancer's Perspectives
Earlier access to the information of a property's condition supports more stable transactions, with benefits varying depending on the client.
Conveyancer Acting for Seller Clients
Reduced abortive work: Fewer last-minute issues to address once contracts are drafted
Smoother file progression: Legal work can continue without unexpected delays from late-emerging property issues
Clearer client guidance: Easier to advise sellers proactively on likely transaction challenges
Conveyancer Acting for Buyer Clients
Prepared for findings and negotiations: Early property insight allows better planning for enquiries and potential renegotiations
Focused legal enquiries: Knowing specific defects enables targeted advice and reduces unnecessary follow-up
Reduced reactive workload: Less urgent problem-solving under pressure once contracts are drafted
On-site clarification support: Practical issues can be explained and addressed where possible, supporting decision-making
Supporting Transaction Progression
Earlier visibility of property issues reduces last-minute disruption once legal work is underway. For conveyancers, the shared objective remains: fewer surprises, fewer delays, and clearer decision-making regarding the property.
