Home Buyer Report - RICS Home Survey Level 2

This level of service is for clients who are seeking a professional opinion on the condition of the property. It is, therefore, more detailed than a level 1 survey, but less comprehensive than a level 3 survey. The focus is on assessing the general condition of the main elements of a property. With this report, you will be more informed about the construction and condition of the property.

what is it?

The HomeBuyer Report – RICS Home Survey Level 2 includes:
  • This intermediate level of service includes a more extensive visual inspection of the building, its services and grounds, but still without tests
  • 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 is provided
  • A market valuation and rebuilding reinstatement cost if requested
Oval Surveyors aim to:
  • Make an informed decision on whether to go ahead with buying the property
  • Take into account any repairs or replacements the property needs, and
  • Consider what further advice you should take before committing to purchasing the property

If you are looking for surveyors that make things easy and simple, Oval are for you. As a seasoned property investor, I’ve had my fair share of bad experiences with other companies. Super impressed.
