The RICS Condition Report should be used for a conventional house, flat or bungalow built from common building materials and in reasonable condition.

It focuses purely on the condition of the property by setting out the following:

• Clear ‘traffic light’ ratings of the condition of different parts of the building, services, garage and outbuildings, showing problems that may require varying degrees of attention.
• A summary of the risks to the condition of the building.
• Advice on replacement parts guarantees, planning and control matters for your legal advisers.

An RICS Condition Report does not include a valuation.
