What Our RICS Level 2 Survey Covers

Our RICS Level 2 Home Survey, formerly known as the HomeBuyer Report, provides a comprehensive inspection of the property's condition. Our inspectors examine all accessible areas of the home, including the roof space, walls, floors, doors, windows, and utilities. We assess the condition of each element and rate them according to the RICS traffic light system, making it easy for you to identify urgent issues.

The survey includes a thorough evaluation of the property's construction and materials, looking for signs of damp, rot, structural movement, or subsidence. In Gretton, where many properties are likely to be over 50 years old, our surveyors pay particular attention to common issues in older homes such as deteriorating roof coverings, outdated electrical systems, and the condition of original windows and doors.

We also check for any environmental risks that may affect the property, including flood risk considerations for areas near watercourses in the wider Gloucestershire region. Our report includes clear advice on any further investigations that may be required and estimated costs for essential repairs, helping you budget accordingly.

Understanding Gretton's Property Market

The Tewkesbury housing market has shown resilience with a 5.3% increase in average house prices in the year to December 2025, with semi-detached properties leading growth at 6.4%. However, Gretton specifically has experienced more significant price adjustments, with recent sold prices down 27% on the previous year and 26% below the 2023 peak of £457,270. This context makes a thorough property survey even more valuable for buyers in the area.

The local housing stock in Gretton reflects the broader Tewkesbury area, with a mix of property types including detached homes, semi-detached properties, and terraced houses. Properties in this area may have been built using traditional methods, and while we cannot verify specific construction details for every home, many English villages in this region contain period properties that benefit from careful inspection.

Our surveyors are familiar with the types of issues that can affect properties in the Gretton area, including those related to aging infrastructure, traditional building materials, and local environmental factors. We provide you with the information needed to make a confident purchasing decision regardless of the property type or age.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a RICS Level 2 survey check?

The RICS Level 2 survey provides a visual inspection of the property's accessible areas, including the roof, walls, floors, windows, doors, and utilities. Our surveyor checks for signs of damp, rot, structural issues, and other defects, rating each element using the RICS traffic light system. The report includes advice on repairs and further investigations needed.

How long does the survey take?

Most RICS Level 2 surveys in Gretton take between 1-2 hours to complete, depending on the property size and complexity. We will book a convenient appointment time and the surveyor will spend adequate time thoroughly inspecting all accessible areas of the home.

When will I receive my survey report?

You will typically receive your completed RICS Level 2 report within 3-5 working days of the inspection. The report is sent electronically, and we can provide a printed version if required. Your report includes detailed photographs, condition ratings, and clear recommendations.

Can I attend the survey?

Yes, we encourage buyers to attend the survey if possible. This gives you the opportunity to ask questions directly to the surveyor and see any issues firsthand. Please let us know when booking if you would like to be present during the inspection.

What happens if the survey finds problems?

If our survey identifies significant issues, the report provides detailed information about the defect, its likely cause, and recommended actions. You can use this information to negotiate with the seller for repairs or a price reduction. Your solicitor can also advise on any specialist investigations that may be required.

Do I need a survey for a new build property?

While new build properties may have fewer obvious defects, a RICS Level 2 survey is still valuable for identifying any construction issues, snagging items, or problems with building standards. Even newly built homes can have defects that need addressing before the warranty period expires.
