A RICS surveyor is a qualified, independent professional trained to assess a property’s condition, construction and risks – not just how it looks on the surface. They are regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and must follow strict professional standards, ensuring their advice is competent, impartial and based on recognised industry guidance.
Through detailed inspection, a RICS surveyor identifies defects, highlights future maintenance issues and explains how these could impact your finances or negotiations, helping you understand exactly what you’re buying before you commit.
