Clear, Professional Insight for Homebuyers
As an AssocRICS surveyor in Swansea, I provide the RICS Level 2 Home Survey – one of the most popular choices for buyers of conventional homes in reasonable condition. Regulated by RICS, the world’s leading property professional body, this survey offers a structured and reliable assessment to help you purchase with confidence.
What the Survey Covers
A Level 2 survey is designed to give you a clear picture of a property’s overall condition, highlighting urgent or significant issues without overwhelming you with technical detail.
It includes:
- A visual inspection of the inside and outside of the property, including roofs, walls, windows, doors, and permanent outbuildings.
- Condition ratings for each element so you can see at a glance which issues are urgent, which need attention soon, and which are in good order.
- Advice on defects such as damp, movement, or timber decay, and whether further investigation is required.
- Legal and safety matters for your solicitor to consider.
- Energy performance review, referencing the EPC and commenting on energy efficiency.
When to Choose a Level 2 Survey
This is the right choice if you are buying:
- A conventional house, flat, or bungalow in generally reasonable condition.
- A property built after 1900 that hasn’t been heavily altered.
It may not be suitable if you are purchasing an older, listed, or significantly modified building. In those cases, a more detailed RICS Level 3 Building Survey would be recommended.
