What Our Level 2 Survey Covers

Our RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Survey provides a thorough inspection of the property's condition, focusing on all accessible areas including the roof, walls, plumbing, and electrical systems. We examine the structural integrity of the building, check for signs of damp or rot, assess the condition of windows and doors, and evaluate the overall maintenance requirements. The survey includes a detailed analysis of both the interior and exterior of the property.

In Ashchurch Rural, we frequently encounter properties with traditional construction methods common to Gloucestershire, including Cotswold stone features in older homes and brickwork in more recent builds. Our surveyors know exactly what to look for in these properties, from potential issues with older roofing materials to concerns with period windows. We also assess any extensions or alterations that may have been made to the property, checking that they meet building regulations.

The report we produce includes clear ratings for each element of the property - condition assessed as acceptable, requiring attention, or needing urgent repair. We provide practical recommendations alongside our findings, helping you understand exactly what work might be needed now and what may become necessary in the future. This level of detail proves particularly valuable in the Ashchurch Rural area where property types vary significantly.
