Buy-to-Let surveys are a new type of survey, designed to give landlords and investors a clear understanding of the property they are intending to buy. They involve a thorough investigation of the property’s condition, identifying items that may impact potential tenants so you are aware of where any problems are and where issues may occur in the future. The aim of the Buy-to-Let survey is to help you make an informed decision about proceeding with the sale by considering the potential repair costs on top of the property’s asking price.

The Homes (Fitness for Habitation) Bill, introduced in 2019, requires landlords to ensure their homes are fit for habitation, at the beginning of a tenancy, and throughout.

You get all the features of the Home Condition Survey, plus, a review of the 29 potential hazard profiles listed under the Housing Health & Safety Rating System (used by local authorities to prosecute landlords in the Private Rented Sector).
