RICS Level 2 Survey in Bradleys Both

The RICS Level 2 Survey provides a comprehensive visual inspection of all accessible areas of the property. Our surveyors examine the walls, roof, floors, windows, doors, and permanent fixtures, identifying any defects that could affect the property's value or require future maintenance. The survey includes an assessment of the property's overall condition, highlighting both minor defects and major issues that may require urgent attention. We use a traffic light rating system - red for urgent defects requiring immediate attention, amber for issues that should be monitored or repaired soon, and green for satisfactory condition.

For properties in Bradleys Both, our surveyors pay particular attention to the local construction materials. Given the area's character, many properties feature natural stone walls and slate roofing, materials that require specific expertise to assess properly. The Bradleys Both Neighbourhood Plan emphasises high-quality natural stone and slate in new developments, reflecting the traditional vernacular of the area. Our chartered surveyors understand these local construction methods and can identify issues specific to stone-built properties, including mortar deterioration, slate damage, and potential damp penetration. We have found that many properties in the BD20 area suffer from weathering of exposed stone faces, particularly on north-facing walls where rain exposure is most severe.

The Level 2 Survey also includes an optional market valuation, which can be particularly useful in the competitive Bradleys Both property market where properties regularly sell above asking price. This valuation is based on our extensive knowledge of local property prices and recent sales in the area, including the BD20 postcode data for detached, semi-detached, and terraced properties. If you are purchasing with a mortgage, your lender will require a valuation anyway, so combining this with your survey can be a cost-effective approach.

Once your survey is complete, you will receive a comprehensive RICS Level 2 Survey report that is clear, practical, and easy to understand. The report uses the RICS traffic light rating system to clearly indicate the condition of each building element - red for urgent defects requiring immediate attention, amber for issues that should be addressed soon, and green for satisfactory condition. Each section includes photographs of any issues found, an explanation of what the defect means, and our professional recommendation on the next steps. We aim to deliver reports within 3-5 working days of the inspection, and we understand that in a competitive property market, fast turnaround can be crucial for your purchase timeline.

For properties in Bradleys Both, our reports include specific advice relevant to local conditions. This includes guidance on maintaining stone-walled properties, recommendations for slate roof inspections, and information about any conservation area or listed building considerations that may affect your future plans. If we identify issues that require specialist input, such as structural engineer assessments or damp and timber surveys, we will clearly recommend this in your report. Our goal is to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision about your property purchase and to negotiate effectively if issues are found.
