What do surveyors in Rugby look at during a house survey?
When you book a building survey in Rugby, a Chartered Surveyor will carry out a detailed inspection of the property. Depending on which level survey you choose, this includes:
- All key internal features (walls, ceilings, floors, doors, etc.)
- Signs of damp, condensation, or mould (a common issue in older Rugby homes)
- Insulation quality and ventilation
- Structural integrity of the building and its foundations, especially important in Rugby’s Victorian and Edwardian properties
- Timber condition and evidence of infestation or rot
- Condition of visible electric, gas, plumbing, and drainage systems
- Environmental concerns (e.g. flooding risks in certain parts of Warwickshire)
- Presence of invasive plants such as Japanese knotweed
- Permanent outdoor structures like garages, sheds, or garden walls
Following the inspection, the surveyor will issue a comprehensive report highlighting potential problems, needed repairs, and the general condition. Some surveyors in Rugby also offer property valuations for an added cost.
A survey can be a powerful negotiation tool; if it uncovers hidden issues, you may be able to renegotiate the purchase price or request repairs from the seller.
What is the difference between a surveyor and a Chartered Surveyor?
While many professionals may offer surveys, a Chartered Surveyor is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and has undergone stringent training and assessment.
- All reallymoving surveyors are RICS-accredited
- They must follow strict ethical and professional guidelines
- In the rare event of a dispute, you can escalate it through RICS
In Rugby, where the property mix ranges from modern developments to historic townhouses, it’s vital to use a Chartered Surveyor with local knowledge and professional credentials.

RICS Level 2: Homebuyers Survey
