Level 2 Home Buyers Survey

Our Level 2 Residential Survey is designed for conventional properties in reasonable condition. This survey provides an informed opinion on the property's condition, helping you make a reasoned and informed decision on whether to proceed with your purchase.

✔ Visual Inspection: A thorough visual inspection of all accessible parts of the property, inside and out.

✔ Condition Ratings: Clear 'traffic light' ratings (red, amber, green) for different elements of the property, indicating the urgency of any identified issues.

✔ Identified Defects: Identification of any defects or issues that are considered to be significant.

✔ Urgent Defects: Highlights any urgent defects requiring immediate attention.

✔ Potential Legal Issues: Advice on potential legal issues that your legal advisor should investigate further.

✔ Maintenance Advice: General advice on future maintenance and potential risks.

✔ Concise Report: A clear, concise, and easy-to-understand report.

✅ Who is it for?

This survey is generally suitable for most standard residential properties, including houses, flats, and bungalows, that appear to be in reasonable condition and were built using common construction methods. It's a great choice if you require a standard report on the state of your property but don't require the extensive investigation of a Level 3 survey.

Level 3 Building Survey

Our Level 3 Residential Survey is the most comprehensive survey available and is recommended for older, larger, or unique properties, as well as properties that have been significantly altered or are in a visibly poor condition. This in-depth survey provides a detailed analysis of the property's construction and condition.

What's included?

✔ Detailed Inspection: An extensive and more intrusive inspection of all accessible parts of the property, going beyond a purely visual assessment where appropriate and safe.

✔ Comprehensive Analysis: In-depth analysis of the property's construction, materials, and overall condition.

✔ Defect Identification & Advice: Detailed identification of defects, their likely cause, and comprehensive advice on necessary repairs, maintenance options, and potential future costs.

✔ Recommendations: Specific recommendations for further investigation by specialists, where required.

✔ Technical Information: Detailed technical information on the property's construction and any significant alterations.

✔ Energy Efficiency: Consideration of energy efficiency and environmental aspects.

✔ Budgeting Advice: More detailed advice on potential repair costs and maintenance planning.

✔ In-depth Report: A comprehensive, bespoke report presented in a longer format with more detailed commentary and recommendations.

✅ Who is it for?

Choose a Level 3 survey if you are buying an older property (e.g., pre-1900s), a listed building, a property of unusual construction, or one that has undergone substantial alterations. It's also highly recommended if the property appears to be in a fairly run-down or neglected state or you have concerns about its structural integrity. This survey provides the fullest picture of a property's condition and potential liabilities, giving you maximum peace of mind.
