Home Surveys by Professional Surveyors Residential help home buyers identify defects and potential issues within a property, highlighting the need for further investigations before committing to a purchase.

Which home survey is right for you?

Home Survey Level 2

This survey is suitable when buying a standard house, apartment, or bungalow constructed from common building materials and in reasonably good condition.

The report provides a simple and easy-to-understand rating system, using a traffic light rating system, which indicates the condition of different parts of the building, its services, and grounds. The ratings clearly show which issues require different levels of attention.

The primary focus of this service is to evaluate the overall condition of the main elements of a property. This level of service includes a thorough visual inspection of the building, its services, and grounds, but does not involve any testing. If it is safe to do so, concealed areas usually accessible or used by occupants, such as roof spaces, basements, and cellars, will be inspected.

The report provides an unbiased description of the condition of various elements and assesses the importance of any defects or issues. For further details on the RICS Home Survey Level 2 (survey only) report, please contact us.

Home Survey Level 3

If you are dealing with a large, older, or rundown property, or a building that has undergone significant alterations, this report is the appropriate choice. It is more costly than other RICS reports because it provides comprehensive information about the structure and materials of the property. This service involves a thorough visual examination of the building, its services, and grounds, and it is more extensive than a Level 2 survey. Concealed areas that are typically accessible or utilised by occupants, such as roof spaces, basements, and cellars, will be inspected if it is safe to do so.

Although the services are not tested, they are observed in normal operation, which means they are switched on or off and/or operated where the occupant has given permission and it is safe to do so. The report objectively describes the form of construction and materials used for different parts of the property. It describes the condition and provides an assessment of the relative importance of any defects or issues.

The survey report will include the following:

  • a description of the identifiable risk of potential or hidden defects in areas not inspected
  • the most probable cause(s) of the defects based on the inspection
  • outlines the likely scope of any necessary remedial work and explains the likely consequences of not repairing the defects.
