RICS Level 2 Survey (Home Buyers Survey)
RICS Level 2 Survey
A RICS Level 2 Survey, also known as a HomeBuyer Report, is a comprehensive inspection designed for residential properties that are in reasonable condition and constructed using conventional building methods. This survey provides a detailed evaluation of a property's condition, highlighting any significant issues such as structural defects, damp, or subsidence. It is conducted by a qualified surveyor accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
The report includes a clear and easy-to-understand traffic light system to rate the urgency of identified issues, helping potential buyers make informed decisions. It also includes guidance on necessary repairs and ongoing maintenance, as well as an assessment of the property's general condition. However, unlike a RICS Level 3 (Building Survey), it does not include detailed advice on remedial works or a breakdown of construction methods. The Level 2 Survey is ideal for buyers of standard homes who require a balanced level of detail without delving into the more extensive analysis provided by a Level 3 Survey.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Julie Reynolds
As someone who was completely cynical and sceptical about house buying, the process and all the people that take their cut for doing very little or nothing at all. Well if you want a proper job done in professional, thorough and detailed way, then look no further than this person. 10 out of 10 could not recommend more highly. Totally exceeded my expectations and is a credit to their profession. Will use again and tell my friends and family

John completed a survey for me recently and it was extremely detailed and diligent. He was very thorough and everything was explained clearly in the document. His response time and efficiency were excellent (even managing to get a report to me ahead of a holiday!!) and he covered every area of the property (more than I was expecting!). The report was a lot more thorough that I anticipated which was excellent.
I would 100% request John's services again and would recommend him to anyone for a survey. Thank you! It was worth every penny!

John was brilliant to work with! Right from the first time I made contact his responses were prompt, professional and thorough. Plus the fact John also talked me through the key points from his report afterwards. I would definitely use John again and have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
