RICS Level 2 Home Survey

When buying a home, it’s crucial to know exactly what you’re investing in. The RICS Level 2 Survey (also known as a Homebuyer Report) is designed for modern, conventional properties in reasonable condition. I offer this service across Southam, Banbury, Daventry, and surrounding areas, providing you with an expert, straightforward assessment of the property's condition.

What is a RICS Level 2 Survey?

The RICS Level 2 Survey provides a mid-level report aimed at buyers who want a concise evaluation of the property’s condition. It highlights any significant issues without the depth of a Level 3 Survey. It’s suitable for conventional homes in reasonable condition, helping you make an informed decision without the complexity of an in-depth investigation.

Overview of the Property’s Condition:

A concise report highlighting major defects and issues.

Maintenance Advice:

I’ll provide advice on necessary repairs or future maintenance.

Risks of Dampness or Structural Instability:

I’ll flag any potential risks related to dampness or structural concerns that may need further investigation.

Legal Concerns:

I’ll be the eyes and ears of your legal advisor, identifying visible issues related to planning permissions, guarantees, or unregulated work.

Taking the Time to Get It Right

I believe in giving each property the time it deserves. I take as much time as needed during the inspection to ensure no detail is overlooked. This thorough approach is crucial in identifying potential issues that could cost you down the line. A rushed inspection can miss important details, but by allowing for a detailed, careful assessment, I ensure you receive a comprehensive report you can trust.

Advanced Technology for Accurate Assessments

As part of my service, I use the latest technology to ensure you receive the most thorough report possible.

Drone technology (offered as standard) is used to inspect hard-to-reach areas such as roofs and chimneys, ensuring that nothing is missed in the assessment.
I also use thermal imaging to detect heat loss, moisture issues, and insulation problems that may not be visible to the naked eye.

Addressing Common Buyer Concerns

Many buyers worry about hidden problems that could end up costing a lot after purchase. With the RICS Level 2 Survey, I’ll ensure any potential issues are highlighted, so you can make an informed decision. Whether it’s concerns about damp, roofing, structural issues, or legal complications, I’ve got you covered.

Tailored Advice

I take the time to understand what’s important to you. If there are specific concerns you have about the property, I’ll address them in the report. You’ll also have the opportunity to discuss the findings in as many post-survey calls as you need.
