RICS Level 2 HOMEBUYERS Survey

A RICS Level 2 Survey is a survey designed for those who want a professional opinion of the condition of the main elements of a property. It will suit a broad range of conventionally built properties but is unlikely to suit significantly extended or altered buildings, unique, older historic properties, or properties in a neglected condition.

What is a RICS Level 2 Home Survey Report?

When it comes to buying a property, there are many different types of surveys you can choose from. One of the most popular is the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Home Survey Report. This report provides an in-depth analysis of the condition of a property and is used by potential buyers to make an informed decision about whether or not to purchase a home.

What does a RICS Level 2 Home Survey Report include?

A RICS Level 2 Home Survey Report includes an in-depth assessment of the condition of the property, including both visible and non-visible defects. The report provides detailed information on any major defects that may affect the value or safety of the property, as well as any minor defects that may require attention in the future. The report will also include advice on repairs and any maintenance that should be carried out, to ensure the property remains in good condition.

Your surveyor will also provide advice on any legal issues that may affect the property, such as boundary disputes or rights of way. They will also provide advice on energy efficiency and environmental matters, such as flood risk or subsidence risk.
