RICS Level 2 Survey in Chetwynd Aston and Woodcote

The RICS Level 2 survey, formerly known as the HomeBuyer Report, provides a thorough inspection of the property's accessible areas including the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. Our surveyors examine the condition of the roof, including its structure and covering, while also assessing the condition of chimneys, TV aerials, and other external features. The report includes a detailed assessment of damp levels using moisture detection equipment, ensuring that any rising or penetrating damp is identified before you commit to the purchase.

In addition to the visual inspection, the Level 2 survey evaluates the condition of built-in appliances, woodwork, and finishes, giving you a comprehensive understanding of the property's overall state. Our surveyors check for signs of rot, insect infestation, and structural movement, providing you with a clear traffic light rating system that highlights issues ranging from urgent repairs to cosmetic defects.
