Inspections and Reports on Dwellings is a four volume series that comprehensively explores the process of independent professional home assessment required for the purchase of residential property. This fully updated second edition ofInspecting retains a focus on the needs of the surveyor to recognise and interpret the significance of observations on site, whilst updating the market context within which surveyors and valuers are operating.

Inspecting includes a consideration of the important benchmarking by RICS of three distinct Survey Service levels for independent surveyors and a review of the wider choice of survey options professional surveyors can now offer to potential clients in addition to the RICS Home Survey range. There is additional content on preparing for the inspection and on reporting, including the use of standard text, and there are expanded or completely new sections on a variety of subjects such as conservatories, renewable energy technologies and innovative techniques and forms of construction. With over 500 colour illustrations and an enhanced structure, the new edition reflects the very latest approach to inspecting and reporting on services, risk and legal matters.

This book is essential reading for all those engaged in inspecting dwellings, whether experienced, newly qualified or studying for appropriate qualifications to become members of professional institutions.
