Our RICS Level 2 survey provides a thorough visual inspection of all accessible areas of the property. We check the condition of walls, roofs, foundations, and structural elements, identifying any defects or potential problems that might affect the property's value or require expensive repairs. In a market where properties can command prices over £260,000 for detached homes, skipping a survey is a risk our team believes you should not take. We have seen buyers face unexpected repair bills ranging from minor damp issues to significant structural problems that could have been identified before purchase.

The survey also includes a market valuation and insurance rebuild cost estimate, giving you a complete picture of your investment. Our surveyors are familiar with the types of construction common throughout the Wirral area and understand how local environmental factors might impact different property types. This local knowledge adds significant value to your survey report. We know that properties in this area were built using various methods across different decades, and this affects what we look for during our inspection.

Our inspectors conduct a systematic examination of every accessible part of your potential new home. We begin with the external fabric of the building, assessing the condition of the roof, chimneys, walls, foundations, and drainage systems. In CH46 6, where properties range from post-war semis to older terraced houses, our surveyors know exactly what to look for based on the property's age and construction type. We have inspected properties on Greasby Road, Arrowe Park Road, and the various cul-de-sacs that make up this postcode, giving us specific knowledge of local construction patterns.

Inside the property, we examine the condition of walls, floors, ceilings, and stairs, checking for signs of damp, rot, or structural movement. We assess the condition of windows and doors, test the functionality of locks and opening mechanisms, and evaluate the overall maintenance condition of the interior. Our surveyors also inspect built-in fixtures and fittings, providing you with a complete picture of the property's internal condition. We pay particular attention to areas that are commonly affected by the damp climate in this part of Wirral, where condensation and penetrating damp can be issues in older properties.

The survey includes an assessment of services such as gas, electric, water, and drainage, though we always recommend having separate professional tests for these systems. We identify any obvious safety concerns or urgent defects that require immediate attention, giving you the information needed to negotiate repairs or price adjustments with the seller before completing your purchase. Our team has found everything from outdated electrical installations to faulty drainage systems during inspections in this area, and we document everything thoroughly in our reports.

We also assess the grounds and external areas, including any garages, outbuildings, or boundaries that form part of the property. For properties with large gardens, which are common in the detached and semi-detached properties throughout CH46 6, we note the condition of fences, gates, and any retaining walls. Our comprehensive approach ensures you have a complete understanding of the property before you commit to the purchase.
