Buying a home is one of the biggest and most important financial decisions you’ll ever make — which is why understanding the true condition of a property before you commit is essential. A survey can help you identify potential issues early, avoid unexpected costs, negotiate more effectively, and buy with confidence.
At J.J. Morris, our experienced team of RICS-qualified Chartered Surveyors provide clear, detailed and independent RICS Home Surveys. Each inspection offers a professional assessment of a property’s condition, presented in an easy-to-understand report format — including the widely recognised ‘traffic light’ system that highlights areas requiring attention.
With deep local knowledge across South and West Wales, we tailor our advice to help you make well-informed decisions, whether you are a first-time buyer, upsizing, downsizing or investing.
Our RICS Home Survey Options
RICS Home Survey – Level 1
A concise overview of the property’s condition, using a clear traffic light system to identify urgent defects, areas needing attention, risks, or potential legal considerations. Ideal for newer or straightforward properties.
RICS Home Survey – Level 2 (Survey)
Best suited to conventional homes in reasonable condition. This survey offers more detailed commentary on the property’s state of repair, including advice on defects, maintenance concerns and potential future costs.
RICS Home Survey – Level 2 (Survey & Valuation)
Includes all elements of the Level 2 Survey, plus an independent market valuation carried out by an RICS-registered valuer — giving you clarity on both condition and value.
RICS Home Survey – Level 3
The most comprehensive survey available. Perfect for older, larger or heavily altered properties, or where you plan significant refurbishment. This detailed inspection covers the structure, fabric, services and grounds, offering full guidance on defects, repair options and long-term maintenance.
Whether you’re purchasing your first home or adding to your property portfolio, J.J. Morris is here to ensure you have the insight you need to move forward with confidence.
