Home Insight Survey

Olympic Surveyors is proud to introduce the Home Insight Survey – a unique survey created specifically for homeowners preparing to sell their property.

Unlike traditional surveys, which are usually commissioned by buyers, the Home Insight Survey is commissioned by the seller. It provides clear, detailed, and impartial information about your property’s condition.

By taking this proactive approach, you can avoid unexpected issues, delays, or renegotiations, while giving potential buyers greater confidence from the very beginning.

The survey is based on a full and thorough visual inspection of your property, equivalent in detail to a Level 3 RICS or RPSA survey.

Your inspection and report will cover:

• An overview of your property’s construction, age, and condition.
• Identification of defects, maintenance issues, and potential repair costs.
• Conveyancing matters such as boundaries, access, and alterations.
• Checks for health and safety risks including asbestos, fire separation, and electrical safety.
• Assessment of structural risks, services, and environmental factors.
• Information on climate change impacts, flooding, subsidence, and renewable energy installations.
• High-quality photographs and condition ratings for full clarity.
• Use of aerial drones for roof-level inspections and sub-floor drones for hidden or restricted spaces, providing safe and detailed access to areas that traditional methods may miss.

For Sellers

• Reduces the risk of your sale falling through.
• Prevents last-minute price negotiations.
• Identifies repairs you can resolve before listing.
• Builds buyer confidence and may help achieve a higher sale price.

• Provides peace of mind before making an offer.
