RICS Level 2 Survey in Send (GU23 7)

Our RICS Level 2 survey provides a thorough visual inspection of all readily accessible areas of the property. Our chartered surveyor examines the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows, along with the roof, chimneys, and permanent outbuildings. We check for signs of damp, rot, structural movement, and timber defects that could indicate underlying problems. The inspection also covers the condition of bathroom fittings, kitchen units, and built-in appliances where these are visible. For properties in Send, our inspectors pay particular attention to the condition of older properties, which may show signs of wear that require attention.

The survey report uses a traffic light rating system to clearly indicate the condition of each element inspected. Green indicates no issues requiring attention, amber highlights defects that require repair or further investigation, and red flags serious issues that may affect the property's value or safety. This straightforward approach helps you understand exactly what you're purchasing and what investment may be needed after completion. For the GU23 7 area, where properties range from terraced houses at around £536,375 to detached homes exceeding £1 million, this clarity is invaluable when negotiating your purchase.
