The Homebuyers’ Report and Valuation – how long should it take?

Abstract

The research examines the time it takes to undertake a RICS/ISVA Homebuyer Survey and Valuation survey. Over 650 surveyors (94 per cent response rate) completed datasheets on how long they spend on site, dictating and finally checking a Homebuyers’ Report on four property types. The sample for this research represents over 45 per cent of those professionals that carry out Homebuyers’ Reports. The sample was drawn from organisations varying in size from large corporates to sole practitioner firms. The results of this research are presented, analysed and compared to the earlier work of Hollis and Bright.
