Why a Specific Homebuyers Survey for

Buy-To-Let?

Buy-To-Let surveys are a very specialist and niche form of property inspection, specifically designed to provide landlords and investors with a comprehensive understanding of the condition of a property prior to purchase. This very specialist survey involves a detailed assessment of the building, highlighting any defects or issues that could affect future tenants, as well as identifying areas where problems may arrive overtime, and additionally looking at safety aspects of the property. The primary purpose of a Buy-To-Let survey is to support informed decision-making by enabling purchasers to fully consider the likely repair and maintenance costs in addition to the agreed price.

What Does a Homebuyers Buy-To-Let

Survey Cover?

A Homebuyers Buy-To-Let Survey provides a comprehensive overview of the property's condition, identifying significant defects and issues that could affect its value or require costly repairs. This specialist Homebuyers Buy-To-Let Survey then digs a little deeper into the legislation and requirements imposed on today's landlords, with not only the introduction of Selective Licensing Schemes through much of England, but also the implementation of the Renters' Rights Act 2025 (RRA). Whilst the government Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) is already in force, new legislation under the Renters' Rights Act 2025 (RRA), will significantly strengthen how it is enforced and applied within the private rented sector. Local authorities have also being given enhanced powers to enforce Civil Penalties on landlords who do not correct Category 1 hazards detailed within the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS). This is the essential survey for any Buy-To-Let investor.
