The survey includes a detailed examination of the walls, roof, windows, doors, floors, and ceilings, along with inspections of the plumbing, electrical, and heating systems where visible. For properties in Llandegla's older neighbourhoods, our surveyors pay particular attention to common issues found in period construction, including damp penetration, roof condition, and the integrity of traditional timber elements.
The report uses a clear traffic light rating system to indicate the condition of each element, making it easy to understand which issues require urgent attention and which are minor cosmetic matters. We include specific advice on repairs and maintenance, giving you the information needed to negotiate with sellers or budget for future work.

The Level 2 Survey is particularly valuable in Llandegla given the significant proportion of older properties in the area. Many homes were constructed between 1800 and 1911, meaning they may have hidden issues that only a trained eye can identify. Our surveyors check for signs of subsidence, structural movement, damp ingress, and roof deterioration that are commonly found in period properties. We understand the construction methods typical of this era, including solid wall construction, traditional lime mortar pointing, and historic timber frame elements.
In recent years, we've surveyed numerous properties throughout the LL11 area, from traditional Welsh stone cottages to contemporary detached family homes. This local experience means we know what to look for in properties specific to this region, including issues related to the local climate, ground conditions, and typical building materials used in the area. Our familiarity with the local housing stock enables us to provide particularly relevant advice about potential issues and maintenance requirements.
We believe in providing honest, straightforward advice that helps you make the right decision for your circumstances. If we find significant issues, we explain them clearly and provide practical recommendations rather than simply highlighting problems without solutions. Our goal is to equip you with all the information you need to proceed with confidence or negotiate effectively with the seller.

Even new build properties can benefit from a Level 2 Survey, as construction defects are not exclusive to older homes. Our surveyors can identify issues with finishes, fittings, and build quality that may not be apparent during your viewing, from poorly sealed windows to inadequate drainage falls.

Yes, we actively encourage buyers to attend the survey inspection as this provides valuable context that complements the written report.

We'll arrange a convenient time for the inspection that fits your schedule, typically mid-morning to allow good daylight conditions.
If our survey identifies significant defects, you have several options depending on your circumstances and the nature of the issues found. You can request that the seller address the repairs before completion, negotiate a reduction in the purchase price to cover repair costs, or in some cases, withdraw from the purchase without penalty if the issues are sufficiently serious. Our report provides the professional, evidence-based documentation needed to support your negotiation position with the seller's estate agent. We can also advise on whether specialist follow-up surveys are recommended for particular issues identified.
Given the significant proportion of older properties in Llandegla built between 1800 and 1911, we frequently identify issues related to damp penetration, particularly in solid wall constructions that lack modern cavity insulation. Roof condition is another common finding, with aging slate and tile coverings often requiring attention after years of exposure to the Welsh climate. We also commonly find outdated electrical installations that require updating and pointing defects in period brick and stonework that allow moisture ingress. Our detailed reports flag these issues and provide practical guidance on addressing them.
For listed buildings or properties in conservation areas, which may exist in and around Llandegla, a Level 2 Survey provides a useful overview but may not capture all relevant issues.

The Level 3 survey includes opening up of accessible areas where appropriate and provides more comprehensive advice on the condition of historic building elements.
