Level 2 Homebuyers Survey
What is Involved in a Level 2 Homebuyers Survey?
The RICS Level 2 Homebuyers Survey (known as the Level 2 Home Survey) provides a general overview of the condition of a property and the expected repair needs. This survey does not include a market valuation, but we are able to provide this as an additional, paid for service if required.
The Home Survey Report is a comprehensive report which includes:
- Identified problems with the property
- An overview of expected repair needs
- Details of any identified health and safety issues
- An overview of any legal matters that need to be considered
- Details of anything that needs to be investigated further by a specialist
