What's better about this type of survey

This survey format was born out of much collaboration between consumer groups and interested government departments. The result is generally accepted to be 'best in its class' by property professionals and has been used as a template for many of the more recent RICS products. In particular, the Home Condition Survey format is better in the following ways:
It is specifically written with the consumer in mind and uses non-technical language.
All reports are lodged with the accrediting body and 5% of them are independently audited.
Each report is insured for professional negligence, thus removing the need to specifically target the surveyor for recompense(see below for policy details).
The report also includes a reinstatement calculation, which can be very useful for insurance purposes(see below for example).
All reports carry a comprehensive set of photographs supporting the text.
Finally, and perhaps most important of all, the report is written by an independent surveyor who is not aligned to any other third party.
Area covered

Most of London and the South East is covered and surveys can normally be arranged within a week or so
