Our RICS Level 2 Survey provides a thorough visual inspection of all accessible areas of the property. We examine the walls, roof, foundations, damp proof course, windows, doors, and vital systems including electrical and plumbing where visible. The report categorises any defects found using traffic light ratings - red for serious issues requiring urgent attention, amber for items needing future repair, and green for satisfactory conditions. This clear system helps you understand exactly what you're buying and what costs may arise after completion. Our surveyors document everything with photographs and provide clear explanations of each defect, ensuring you never wonder what a particular issue means for your investment.
In the PO22 7 area, our surveyors pay particular attention to issues common in the local housing stock. Properties in this coastal postcode often show signs of salt damp and erosion exposure, particularly in older buildings constructed before modern damp proofing standards were introduced. We also check roof conditions thoroughly, as the mix of traditional and more recent roofing materials across detached, semi-detached, and terraced properties can reveal varying levels of maintenance needs. Many properties in PO22 7, particularly those along the seafront near Aldwick Bay, face unique challenges that inland properties simply don't encounter.
The Level 2 survey includes assessment of the property's value and reinstatements cost for insurance purposes, giving you a complete picture of your investment. We provide practical advice on any urgent repairs needed and suggest further investigations where defects require specialist attention from structural engineers, damp specialists, or electrical contractors. This valuation element is particularly valuable in PO22 7, where property prices vary significantly between sub-postcodes - for example, PO22 7AT averaged £703,750 compared to the overall average of £438,897, making accurate valuation essential for mortgage purposes.
Our reports also include a comprehensive analysis of the property's location and any environmental factors that might affect your purchase. Given PO22 7's coastal position, we advise on flood risk considerations and the potential impact of coastal erosion on long-term property values. We check drainage patterns, the condition of sea defences where visible, and any history of flooding in the vicinity. This holistic approach ensures you're not just buying a property today but making a sound investment for the future.

You can book directly through our online system or speak to our team if you have any questions about the process.

Our qualified surveyor visits the property and conducts a comprehensive visual examination of all accessible areas, including the roof space, sub-floor areas where accessible, and exterior walls. The inspection typically takes 1-2 hours depending on property size. Our surveyor will measure the property, photograph key defects, and assess the overall condition against Building Regulation standards current at the time of construction. We'll also note any visible signs of alterations or extensions that may require planning permission verification.
Within 3-5 working days of the inspection, you'll receive your detailed RICS Level 2 report via email. The document includes clear defect ratings, photographs, and practical recommendations for any issues discovered. Your report will also include the market valuation and reinstatement cost for insurance purposes.

Our surveyors are experienced in identifying these area-specific issues and will provide tailored advice on maintenance requirements for seaside homes. Properties within a few hundred yards of the promenade, such as those along Aldwick Road or the area near PO22 7WE, particularly benefit from our detailed coastal exposure assessment.
The PO22 7 area presents a varied property landscape that benefits significantly from professional survey input. With an average property price of £438,897, making the wrong choice could cost you significantly.

The significant variation in prices across sub-postcodes - from PO22 7AT averaging £703,750 to properties in other areas showing different patterns - means understanding exactly what you're getting for your money is essential.
Historical property data for PO22 7 shows significant variation in price trends across different sub-postcodes. Areas like PO22 7AT have seen dramatic price movements, while others like PO22 7EF show more stable long-term growth of 44.6% over the past decade. This variability makes understanding the specific property you're buying even more important - a thorough survey helps you distinguish between a bargain and a money pit. PO22 7EF specifically has shown consistent growth with 0.7% in the last year alone, making it one of the more stable sub-postcodes in the area.
The presence of older properties in the area, including Grade II listed buildings dating from the 1840s such as the Flint Cottage we see in local listings, means that many homes will have construction features requiring specialist knowledge. Our surveyors understand how to assess historic buildings, identifying issues that standard inspections might miss and ensuring you're aware of any listing restrictions or conservation requirements that could affect future renovations. We know which streets contain period properties and can advise on the specific challenges of maintaining older construction in a coastal environment.
Properties in PO22 7 also include significant numbers of 1930s detached homes, particularly in established residential roads away from the seafront. These properties often have original features but may also have aging electrical systems, original single-glazed windows, and roofs that are approaching or past their expected lifespan. Our surveyors know which areas have the highest concentration of these properties and what to look for when assessing their condition. With 191 sales in the last 24 months, there's plenty of transaction data to understand what common issues affect these homes.
A Level 2 Survey includes a thorough visual inspection of all accessible parts of the property - the roof, walls, floors, windows, doors, and built-in fixtures. We assess the condition of each element and identify any defects that might affect the value or safety of the property. The report includes a market valuation, reinstatement cost for insurance, and clear ratings for each defect found. For properties in PO22 7, we specifically check for coastal damage, salt damp, and roof condition issues that are particularly relevant to this area. The report typically runs to 30-40 pages for a standard property, providing comprehensive coverage of all accessible elements.
The physical inspection typically takes between 1-2 hours for standard residential properties in the PO22 7 area. Larger detached homes or properties with complex layouts may require longer, particularly those near the seafront that might have additional outbuildings or unusual configurations. Flats and terraced properties are generally quicker to inspect than large detached houses. You'll receive your written report within 3-5 working days of the inspection date, though we can often expedite reports if your purchase timeline requires it.
Flats in PO22 7 average £179,247, and a Level 2 Survey is highly recommended even for smaller properties. The survey will assess the interior condition and any shared areas you're entitled to access. However, be aware that some issues affecting the whole building may fall under the freeholder's responsibility, so we also advise checking the lease terms and any recent service charge invoices. In PO22 7, many flats are located in converted period properties, so we pay particular attention to the condition of shared roofs, foundations, and any cladding systems that might present maintenance issues.
Yes, our surveyors are experienced in identifying damp problems specific to coastal locations like PO22 7. We check for signs of penetrating damp, rising damp, and condensation issues that are more prevalent in properties near the sea. Properties within a few hundred yards of the seafront, particularly those along Aldwick Road and the promenade areas, frequently show salt penetration in external walls. Where damp is suspected, we recommend appropriate specialist damp surveys to determine the exact cause and necessary remedies. Our report will clearly flag any damp-related issues and specify whether immediate action is required or whether monitoring is appropriate.
If our Level 2 Survey identifies serious defects rated as red priority, we provide detailed advice on the nature of the issue and recommend appropriate next steps. This may include negotiating a reduction in the purchase price, requesting the seller carries out repairs before completion, or in some cases, reconsidering the purchase entirely. Our report gives you the evidence you need for these negotiations. In the PO22 7 area, common serious issues we find include roof defects requiring immediate attention, significant damp penetration in older properties, and structural movement in some period buildings. We provide specific cost guidance where possible so you know exactly what you're negotiating over.
Our team includes surveyors experienced in assessing historic and listed properties.

PO22 7 contains several listed buildings, including properties from the 1840s that require careful assessment. We understand the additional considerations required for these properties and will advise you on any specialist surveys that might be recommended beyond the standard Level 2 report.
