RICS Home Survey Level 2

A detailed visual inspection of the property with clear traffic-light condition ratings. The right choice for conventional homes in reasonable condition, and it includes a call with your surveyor to talk through the findings, with our report back within 5 working days.

Who it's for

Flats, terraced, semi-detached and detached houses of standard construction and in reasonable condition, regardless of age. If the property is extended, altered or unusual, we'll recommend a Level 3 instead, honestly and at no charge.

How it's priced

Every Level 2 HomeBuyer Report is priced individually, based on the property's location, value and complexity. Getting your quote takes about a minute and there is no obligation.

What's included

  • Traffic-light condition ratings for every element
  • Assessment of visible defects such as damp, movement and timber
  • Roof, walls, floors and visible services inspected
  • Covers defects that may affect the property, and notes what maintenance or repairs may be required
  • Legal matters flagged for your conveyancer
  • A call with your surveyor after the report
