Buying a property is a significant decision. A RICS Level 2 Survey helps you understand the condition of the home before you proceed, highlighting defects and repairs that may need your attention.
Previously known as the Homebuyer Report, the Level 2 Survey is best suited to conventional properties built using standard materials and construction methods that appear to be in reasonable condition.
The aim is simple: to give you a clearer understanding of what you're buying and highlight issues you should be aware of before moving forward.
Turn uncertainty into a clear next step.

A Level 3 Survey is the more detailed option. It covers the same broad areas as a Level 2 Survey but provides greater depth on defects, repairs, maintenance and the construction of the property.
It is particularly suitable for older, larger or unusually constructed properties, homes that have been significantly altered, or properties where significant renovation work is planned.
A typical Level 3 inspection takes around 3–5 hours on site, although this can vary depending on the size, condition and complexity of the property.
The typical turnaround is around 5–7 working days following the inspection.
