This is the second level and most popular survey and report, which is more detailed than the condition or valuation report.
The RICS Level 2 Home survey, previously called the Homebuyers survey, is most suitable for conventional properties which are generally in reasonable condition and are simple in form and layout (for example, a property that does not have multiple alterations or extensions). If a property is old or in a dilapidated state, then a more detailed and thorough building (Level 3 – Structural) survey would be more suitable.
It involves the surveyor visiting the property and producing a report which gives you an overview of the property’s condition and:
- Highlights any significant issues that may affect the physical property and or its value
- Provides advice on repairs and any ongoing maintenance
- Identifies issues that may need further investigation to prevent any serious damage or dangerous conditions
- Comments on legal issues that may need to be addressed prior to completion, e.g. obtaining copies of statutory approval for alteration works and extensions
- Provides information relating to the location, local environment and any recorded energy efficiency information
