Choosing the Right Survey

Selecting the right survey for your property purchase is a critical step in your property journey. At Camsure Home Surveys, we provide a variety of survey options tailored to different property types and needs. Below, you'll find detailed descriptions of our survey services to help you make an informed decision.

RICS Homebuyers Survey Report

The RICS Homebuyer Report is well-suited for properties in good condition constructed after 1930. Our certified RICS surveyor in Warwick visually inspects the property and provides a comprehensive report, using a 'traffic light' system for easy understanding.

This report covers not only the property's condition but also provides advice for legal matters, identifies urgent issues, offers suggestions for defects affecting the property's value and guidance on maintenance.

You can also opt for a market valuation for a nominal extra cost. This report covers environmental aspects like flooding, mining, soil types, radon presence, landfill sites and infrastructure issues.

RICS Building Survey

Our Building Survey, formerly known as a Full Structural Survey, is ideal for properties built before 1930. It offers a detailed analysis similar to the Homebuyer Report but delves deeper into the property's condition, providing additional advice.

You can also opt for a property value assessment at a reasonable extra cost.

This report provides comprehensive suggestions for addressing problems, repairs and property maintenance, tailored to your specific concerns.

Independent Valuation Report

Our unbiased assessment aims to establish your property's value and may highlight areas requiring further investigation.

For Help to Buy, a specially qualified RICS registered valuer in Warwick assesses your home's worth, crucial for determining your financial commitment.

Please note that this valuation remains valid for three months.

Really pleased with our experience with Camsure Homes
Really pleased with our experience with Camsure Homes. Booked and organised the lv3 survey without difficulty and the surveyor gave us a call before the survey to check if there was anything specific we wanted looking at and called as soon as he was done to run us through the key findings. The full report was thorough and prepared quickly, I think we received the full report the day after the survey!

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the size and condition of the property. Most inspections take a few hours, but larger or more complex homes may take longer.

Your surveyor will confirm the expected duration when they book the visit and will also give you an idea of when to expect your report.

Buying a property: Book the survey once your offer has been accepted, ideally before you commit to contracts.

Selling a property: Some sellers choose to have a survey carried out beforehand to highlight issues early.

If you’re unsure about repairs: A survey can help you decide on your next steps and prevent costly surprises.

In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the buyer usually arranges and pays for the survey.

However, sellers can also commission their own survey if they wish.

In Scotland, the seller must provide a Home Report for potential buyers.

Not usually. If no serious issues are found, things can progress as planned. But if the survey reveals problems, it might take longer while you negotiate, arrange repairs or get further investigations.

In most of the UK, it's not required by law, but many sellers choose to get one to help avoid delays later on.

If you're in Scotland, you will need a Home Report before you can list the property for sale.

RICS surveyors follow professional standards and are fully insured. Unlike unregulated surveyors, RICS members are trained, monitored and held accountable for the quality of their work.

You can check if someone is RICS accredited by looking for MRICS, AssocRICS or FRICS after their name or by using the official RICS website to search for members and firms.

Working with a qualified RICS surveyor gives you confidence in the findings and protects you if anything goes wrong later.

Living in the Region

What’s It Like to Live in Warwick?

Warwick offers potential home buyers a chance to live amid history yet requires due thought concerning property-survey considerations and local conditions. The town’s rich architectural legacy, its proximity to waterways and local development all inform what surveyors must examine.

Warwick Living – Property and Lifestyle Overview

Architectural Features of Properties

Warwick’s core features attractive Georgian and Victorian homes in the heart of town and larger urban estates along Emscote Road and surroundings. These reflect its historical character and let buyers enjoy period charm.

Historic Buildings and Their Features

  • Warwick Castle: A landmark reflecting the town’s rich history, its preservation influences local planning and renovation oversight.
  • Local Stone: Many older buildings use limestone or sandstone typical of Warwickshire. These materials may be porous and susceptible to staining, meaning maintenance such as gentle cleaning and repointing may be needed.

Survey Findings Specific to Warwick

  • Damp Issues: Properties close to the River Avon and low-lying areas may be prone to damp or rising damp and rot especially in older construction. A RICS survey will check for visible dampness or rot.
  • Subsidence Risks: Warwick lies above parts of the historic Warwickshire coalfield, with long-term mining possibly contributing to subsidence; a survey should assess for signs.
  • Roofing Concerns: Older properties may have timber roof structures susceptible to rot or infestations; surveyors will inspect loft spaces and roof timbers.
  • Energy Efficiency: Georgian or Victorian properties may lack modern insulation and have single glazing, contributing to lower energy performance.

Local Amenities and Notable Places

  • Schools: Well-regarded options include Myton School, Aylesford School and Warwick School (independent).
  • Parks & riverside: St Nicholas Park and the River Avon offer popular walks, boating and family amenities.
  • Historic sites: Warwick Castle anchors the town’s heritage and tourism.

Flood and Radon Risks

  • Flooding: Low-lying areas close to the River Avon may face periodic flood alerts; a site-specific flood report can confirm risk.
  • Radon: Generally low across Warwick District; testing is sensible where recommended by your surveyor.

Subsidence & Ground Conditions

  • Mining searches: While historic coal mining is more common in parts of north Warwickshire, solicitors may recommend a mining search depending on the exact address.

Traffic & Transport

  • Traffic: The town centre and approaches to the castle can be busy at peak times and during events.
  • Public transport: Bus links are frequent; Warwick and Warwick Parkway stations provide services to Birmingham, London and beyond.

Conservation & Future Projects

  • Conservation: Central Warwick is covered by conservation designations; external alterations often need consent.
  • Local improvements: Ongoing flood-mitigation and infrastructure schemes aim to improve resilience and connectivity.

Safety & Crime

Crime levels vary by neighbourhood and time of year. Check the official police crime map for the latest street‑level data.

Home Survey Considerations

  • Professional Advice: A thorough RICS home survey is essential to spot damp, rot, subsidence, asbestos (particularly in mid-20th-century homes), infestations and structural defects.
  • Unique Survey Challenges: Historic properties may need specialised assessment for materials, period features and compliance with conservation regulations.

Local Materials and Their Implications

  • Warwickshire limestone or sandstone demands maintenance such as sensitive cleaning and repointing to manage porosity and staining.

Comparison with Nearby Areas

  • Compared to nearby Leamington Spa, Warwick offers a more historic town-centre ambience but similar flood-risk considerations near waterways.
