RICS Condition Report for London Properties
Trusted by landlords, letting agents, and developers across Greater London.
A RICS Condition Report is a fast, entry-level property survey carried out by a qualified RICS surveyor. It provides a clear, visual overview of a property’s condition — using a traffic-light rating system to flag any significant visible issues.
Ideal for modern homes, new builds, and well-maintained properties, this report helps letting agents, portfolio landlords, and sellers stay compliant, reduce disputes, and move forward with clarity.

Managing Multiple London Properties?
Get Fast, Professional Reports Without the Delay.
At Prime Building Care, our RICS Condition Reports are designed for landlords, letting agents, and developers who need a consistent, compliant overview of their properties — without overpaying for detail they don’t need.
✅ The property is recently built or well-maintained, and you want a quick professional overview.
✅ You’re preparing for new tenants, renewals, or handovers — and need documentation on record.
✅ You manage multiple units and need consistent, fast reporting to reduce admin time.
✅ You want a survey done by a qualified RICS surveyor — but don’t require advice on repairs.
✅ You need peace of mind — or a paper trail — without the cost or delays of a full building survey.
Don’t Let Assumptions Cost You — Get Fast Clarity from a RICS Surveyor
In property management, assumptions can be expensive. A home that looks clean, modern, and well-presented might still hide overlooked defects — especially if no formal inspection has been done.
Our RICS Condition Reports provide a consistent, impartial overview of a property’s visible condition. They’re designed for landlords, letting agents, and developers who need reliable documentation without the time or cost of a full survey. Whether you’re reviewing rental stock, preparing homes for sale, or managing new-build handovers, we deliver clear, structured reporting using a recognised traffic light system — carried out by qualified RICS surveyors.
It’s a fast, scalable way to document condition, reduce disputes, and maintain standards across your portfolio — without unnecessary detail or delay.
Why Londoners Trust Our
RICS Defect-Specific Surveys
Targeted Expertise for One Issue That Needs Answers
Our Defect-Specific Surveys are designed for when a single visible issue raises serious concerns — from a structural crack to damp penetration or roof distortion. We isolate the defect, investigate thoroughly, and give you clear, actionable guidance without unnecessary upselling.
RICS-Accredited Surveyors with Local Insight
Every inspection is led by a RICS-accredited surveyor who understands London’s unique housing stock — including period homes, conversions, and non-standard builds. We know what’s normal, what’s serious, and how to explain the difference.
Evidence You Can Use to Act — or Push Back
Whether you’re buying, repairing, or managing disputes, our reports give you photographic evidence, severity ratings, and recommendations backed by professional expertise — ideal for renegotiation, legal discussions, or contractor accountability.
Your Defect-Specific Survey in Three Focused Steps
Step 1
Book Your Survey Online or By Phone
Use our online form or call us directly to schedule your defect-specific inspection. We’ll confirm the issue you’re concerned about — whether it’s a crack, leak, or visible movement — and guide you through the process clearly from the start.
Step 2
We Investigate the Defect in Detail
A RICS-accredited surveyor will attend the property and carry out a focused inspection of the area in question. We look beyond the surface — identifying potential causes, contributing factors, safety risks, and how the issue fits within the wider condition of the structure.
Step 3
Receive Your Clear, Jargon-Free Report
Within 2–3 working days, you’ll receive a written report tailored to the defect. It includes photographs, severity ratings, and professional guidance — helping you decide whether to repair, investigate further, renegotiate, or seek legal or contractor advice.
