Home Surveys

The Level 2 survey, often called a ‘HomeBuyer Report’, is one of the most popular choices for people buying a home. It includes a careful inspection of the property and a clear, easy-to-understand report. Our reports are compiled using RICS-approved templates that are designed to be jargon-free and easy to follow. We also use a traffic light system, so you can quickly see which parts of the property need attention and how urgent the issues are. This means you’ll have the important information you need to make a thoughtful and confident decision about your purchase.

This type of survey works really well for homes that are fairly modern, usually those built in the last 70 to 80 years and are generally in decent condition. It’s designed to give you peace of mind without overwhelming you with too much technical detail. However, if the property you’re looking at is older, or has had major changes or renovations done, then a more detailed Level 3 Building Survey is usually the better choice. That survey takes a deeper dive into the building’s structure and can uncover hidden issues that a Level 2 survey might miss.

Ultimately, the Level 2 survey strikes a good balance: it’s detailed enough to protect your investment but presented in a way that’s easy to understand and digest. We want you to feel informed and reassured every step of the way, without any confusion or jargon.

Costs

Choosing the right level of survey depends on the age, condition, and complexity of the individual property you’re buying. For this reason we must first identify the property in order to provide an accurate quotation. As a guide, a Level 2 Home Survey ranges from between £600 - £900 and a Level 3 Building Survey starts from £900.

These prices are exclusive of VAT. The prices listed above are for guidance only and can vary significantly. We assess each property individually and provide a tailored quote based on its specific requirements, complexity, and other relevant factors.
