A RICS Level 2 survey includes a thorough visual inspection of all accessible parts of the property, including the roof, walls, floors, windows, doors, and building services.

Yes, we actively encourage buyers to attend the survey inspection. This gives you the opportunity to see any issues firsthand and ask questions as the surveyor identifies them. Your presence also helps you understand the report findings more clearly when you receive it. Many clients find it valuable to walk around the property with our surveyor, seeing exactly what is being examined and learning about any concerns as they arise. This hands-on experience often helps buyers feel more confident about their purchase decision.
If significant defects are identified, your survey report will explain the nature and severity of the issues, recommend whether you need specialist inspections (such as for subsidence or Japanese knotweed), and provide guidance on potential repair costs. You can then use this information to negotiate with the seller, request repairs before completion, or adjust your offer accordingly. In the GU46 7 area, where property prices can vary significantly between neighbouring streets, having detailed information about a property's condition gives you valuable leverage in negotiations.
