Even new build properties can have defects, and a Level 2 survey provides valuable protection. While major structural issues are less likely in newer properties, our surveyors can identify problems with fixtures, fittings, insulation, and construction quality that builders may need to rectify under their warranty obligations.

We provide clear documentation that can be presented to sellers or their solicitors to support your negotiation.
A Level 2 survey is suitable for conventional properties up to around 2,000 square feet and provides a visual assessment with clear ratings.
