Our Level 2 Survey provides a detailed visual inspection of all accessible areas of the property. Our qualified chartered surveyors examine the main elements of the building, including the roof, walls, floors, doors, and windows. We assess the condition of each element and flag any defects that may affect the property's value or require future maintenance. Our inspectors are trained to spot the subtle signs of problems that untrained eyes would miss.
The survey includes an overall opinion on the property's market value, taking into account any issues discovered during the inspection. We also provide a clear condition rating system - Condition Rating 1 (no issues), Condition Rating 2 (needs attention), and Condition Rating 3 (requires urgent repair). This straightforward system helps you quickly identify which areas need the most attention. When we rate something as Condition Rating 3, we always provide clear guidance on the urgency of remedial work.

The average sold price of £463,559 reflects this variety, with detached properties commanding premium prices averaging £848,667.

We've seen everything from Victorian terraces to contemporary apartments in our work across CH60 0.
Older properties in the CH60 0 area, particularly those built before 1945, may present issues such as aging roof structures, outdated electrical systems, or original features requiring maintenance. Our surveyors are trained to identify these issues and assess their severity. We know which older properties in the area are likely to have solid wall construction (without cavity insulation) and how this affects thermal efficiency. We also check for signs of previous structural movement that might indicate ongoing issues with the foundations.
Newer properties, while generally in better condition, may still have defects related to construction quality or building regulations compliance. Our detailed inspection will identify any such issues before you complete your purchase. We pay particular attention to the joinery and window installations in newer builds, as these are common areas where defects occur. Even new build properties can have significant snagging issues that our trained eyes will spot.
The variation in property prices across different sub-postcodes within CH60 0 demonstrates the importance of location-specific knowledge.

During the RICS Level 2 Survey, our chartered surveyor conducts a thorough visual inspection of the property. They examine the exterior and interior, looking for signs of defects, deterioration, or potential problems. The surveyor will move through each room, assess the roof space where accessible, and examine the boundaries and any outbuildings. We always start with the exterior of the property, as this often reveals issues that affect the interior.
The inspection is non-invasive - we don't move furniture, lift carpets, or dismantle fixtures. However, our experienced surveyors know where to look and what to look for, identifying issues that might be invisible to the untrained eye. In the CH60 0 area, this includes checking for signs of movement, damp, timber decay, and other common defects found in local properties. We use specialised tools including moisture meters and torchlights to assist our visual inspection.
Our surveyors pay particular attention to the specific issues that affect properties in the Wirral area. This includes checking for signs of penetrating damp (particularly in properties exposed to prevailing winds), examining timber decay in windows and doors, and assessing the condition of flat roofs which are common on certain property types in the area. We also check the condition of boundary walls and fences, which can be a significant maintenance concern for homeowners in Heswall.

A RICS Level 2 Survey includes a thorough visual inspection of all accessible parts of the property, assessment of the property's condition with clear ratings, an opinion of market value, and recommendations for any further investigations needed. It covers the main structural elements, services, and grounds of the property. The report will highlight any defects found using a clear condition rating system, with Condition Rating 3 items requiring urgent attention clearly identified. Our report also includes our opinion of the property's market value, which you can compare against the asking price to ensure you're paying a fair price.
Our RICS Level 2 Surveys in CH60 0 start from £350 for standard properties. The exact cost depends on the property's size, type, and specific location within the CH60 0 area. Larger properties or those requiring more complex inspections may cost more. For example, a large detached property in CH60 0EA (averaging £680,000) will require more inspection time than a terraced property in CH60 0DP. We always provide a clear, upfront quote with no hidden fees.
The physical inspection typically takes 1-2 hours for a standard residential property. You'll receive your written report within 5 working days of the inspection date. For larger or more complex properties, the inspection may take longer, and we'll advise you of this when you book. We aim to deliver reports as quickly as possible, and if you need your report urgently, please let us know and we'll try to accommodate your timeline.
Even new build properties can benefit from a Level 2 Survey. While major structural issues are rare, our survey can identify snagging issues, construction defects, or problems with building regulations compliance that may not be apparent to the untrained buyer. We've found various issues in new build properties across the Wirral area, including poorly fitted windows, inadequate insulation, and minor structural defects. Having a survey on a new build gives you a documented record of the property's condition at handover, which is valuable for any future claims.
Yes, we encourage buyers to attend the survey if possible. This gives you the opportunity to see any issues firsthand and ask the surveyor questions during the inspection. Many of our clients find it valuable to walk around the property with our surveyor, as this allows us to explain any issues we find in real-time. You'll gain a much better understanding of the property's condition and what maintenance might be required in the future. If you can't attend in person, we can arrange for you to speak with the surveyor by phone after the inspection.
If significant issues are identified, your survey report will clearly explain the problem, its implications, and recommended next steps. You can use this information to negotiate with the seller, request repairs before completion, or adjust your offer to account for the cost of addressing the issues. Our reports always include clear guidance on whether we recommend any further specialist investigations, such as a structural engineer's inspection or a damp survey. We're also happy to discuss the findings with you directly and help you understand your options.
A Level 2 Survey is designed for properties in reasonable condition and provides a visual inspection with condition ratings, while a Level 3 Survey (Building Survey) provides a much more detailed analysis and is recommended for older properties, complex buildings, or those in poor condition. The Level 3 Survey includes more extensive investigation of the structure, more detailed advice on defects and their causes, and guidance on renovation and maintenance options. If you're considering a property over 50 years old or with obvious structural issues, our team can advise whether a Level 3 might be more appropriate.
