RICS Home Survey
Level 2
Ideal if you’re purchasing a standard property, the RICS Home Survey Level 2 provides a clear and concise overview of its condition. This survey is designed to highlight any potential issues that could affect the property’s value or require future maintenance. It includes an assessment of key areas such as the structure, roof, plumbing, and electrics, with advice on potential repairs. Perfect for homes that are in reasonable condition, it offers peace of mind without being overwhelming in detail. We ensure that every report is easy to understand, so you can make informed decisions quickly.
RICS Home Survey
Level 3
For properties that are older, larger, or have unique features, the RICS Home Survey Level 3 offers a much more in-depth inspection. This survey is ideal for homes with complex structures, that have become run down or may have been significantly altered or extended. This comprehensive survey includes a longer inspection, which allows us to go through the property with a fine tooth comb and highlight areas such as structural concerns, damp, or defective building materials. It also proposes likely causes of any defects found. With a detailed and thorough report, the Level 3 Survey ensures you’re fully aware of what you’re buying, giving you clarity and the confidence to proceed, or walk away, based on expert advice.
