It is important to avoid confusing a RICS condition report with a homebuyers report or the sort of comprehensive survey for a property valuation or mortgage valuation that banks, buildings societies or legal advisers would undertake prior to a property purchase. A level 1 condition report does not include a property survey valuation, meaning that another form of new home survey such as a homebuyers report and property survey valuation would need to be arranged separately if both are also required in the conveyancing process. 2
