LEVEL 2 HOME SURVEY

This level of service is for clients who are seeking a professional opinion at an economic price. The focus is on assessing the general condition of the main elements of a property.

 

It includes an extensive visual inspection of the building, its services and grounds. Concealed areas normally opened or used by the occupiers are inspected if it is safe to do so (typical examples

include roof spaces, basements and cellars). The report objectively describes the condition of the different elements and provides an assessment of the relative importance of the defects/problems. At this level, although it is concise, the report does

include advice about repairs and any ongoing maintenance issues. Where the surveyor is unable to reach a conclusion with reasonable confidence, a recommendation for further investigations should be made.

​

This level of service suits a broader range of conventionally built properties. However, this level of service is unlikely to suit:

​

• complex buildings, for example those that have been extensively extended and

altered

• properties built pre-1900

• unique or older historic properties

• properties in neglected condition

​

Our Level 2 service can include a market valuation and re-instatement cost for insurance purposes (at an additional cost).
