A Homebuyers Report is a type of building survey.

Building surveys are a means of providing a detailed evaluation of a property’s condition. The surveys are generally undertaken to help property owners understand the condition of a property, recording risks and potential expenditure that may be required, enabling them develop the appropriate remedial or maintenance plans. They may also be prepared for individual homeowners, home buyers, or for investors in property portfolios to help inform future investments.

HomeBuyer Reports were introduced in 2009, and follow a format specified by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). They are sometimes referred to as a Homebuyers Survey and Valuation or a Homebuyers Survey.

They are one of three types of survey specified by the RICS, that can be undertaken by are completed by RICS Chartered Surveyors:

* HomeBuyer Report. The most common survey, providing more detail regarding condition of the property.
* Building Survey. The most comprehensive report, intended for larger or older properties, or where major works are being planned, and providing in-depth analysis of condition and advice on defects.

Homebuyers Reports are intended for conventional, newer homes in reasonable condition. It is not an exhaustive study, but should identify major or urgent issues as well as areas that should be investigated further.
