RICS Level 2 Survey in Chineham

Our Level 2 survey, formerly known as the HomeBuyer Report, provides a thorough assessment of a property's visible and accessible elements. Our chartered surveyors in Chineham inspect the roof structure, walls, windows and doors, plumbing and electrical systems, damp levels, and the overall condition of the building. We examine both the interior and exterior of the property, providing you with a clear picture of its current state. Our team has surveyed hundreds of properties throughout the Basingstoke area, giving us intimate knowledge of the construction methods and materials commonly used in local homes.

During the inspection, we identify any urgent defects that require immediate attention, as well as issues that may become problems in the future. For properties in the RG24 8 postcode area, where we have conducted numerous surveys, we commonly find issues related to the age of the construction, weather-related wear, and typical defects found in properties across the Basingstoke area. Many homes in Chineham were built during the expansion periods of the 1970s and 1980s, meaning electrical rewiring and damp proof course failures are frequently identified. Our surveyors are familiar with the common issues affecting homes in this region and know exactly what to look for.

The RICS Level 2 report uses a traffic light rating system to clearly indicate the condition of each area inspected. Green indicates no issues requiring attention, amber highlights defects that require some repair or maintenance, and red flags issues that are serious or urgent. This clear system helps you prioritise any work needed and understand the true cost of ownership beyond the purchase price. Each section of the report includes practical recommendations, not just a list of problems, so you know exactly what action to take.

• Roof and loft structure
• Walls, chimneys, and damp proof course
• Windows, doors, and joinery
• Plumbing and electrical installations
• Floors, stairs, and ceilings
• Garages and outbuildings
• Damp and rot assessment
• Thermal efficiency observations
