RICS Level 2 Survey in Rushbury

Our RICS Level 2 Home Survey provides a thorough inspection of the property's accessible areas, identifying defects that could affect value or safety. We examine the roof structure, walls, windows, doors, plumbing, electrical systems, and dampness levels. For Rushbury properties, our surveyors pay particular attention to common issues in local housing stock, including roof condition given the age of many properties in this area.

The survey includes a visual inspection of the property's exterior and interior, assessment of any visible signs of subsidence or movement, and evaluation of the overall condition of the building fabric. We also check for evidence of damp penetration, timber defects, and any issues with the foundations or drainage that are particularly relevant to properties in parts of Shropshire where clay soils can affect foundation performance over time.

After the inspection, you receive our detailed Home Survey Report within 5 working days. This document includes clear condition ratings for all key areas, our professional opinion on the property's value, and specific recommendations for any repairs or further investigations that may be needed. We highlight the most significant issues in an easy-to-read summary so you can quickly understand the property's condition.
