RICS Level 2 Survey in Narberth SA67 7

The RICS Level 2 Survey provides a comprehensive visual inspection of all accessible areas of the property. Our surveyors examine the walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows, as well as the roof space where safe and accessible, the exterior of the building, and any garages or outbuildings included in the sale. The inspection covers the general condition of the property and identifies any defects, potential problems, or areas that require urgent attention. We take photographs throughout the inspection to document our findings and provide you with a visual record of any issues discovered.

In the SA67 7 area, where many properties date from the Victorian and Edwardian periods, our surveyors pay particular attention to common issues found in older Welsh construction. This includes checking for signs of damp penetration in solid walls, assessing the condition of traditional Welsh slate roofing that is prevalent on period properties in Narberth town centre, examining old timber frame elements that may be present in converted buildings, and evaluating any historic modifications that may have been made to the property over the years. Properties in areas like SA67 7AP and SA67 7AR often feature older construction that benefits from this detailed attention.

The survey also includes an assessment of the property's energy efficiency, where visible elements allow, and provides an overview of the approximate age and condition of key building elements such as the boiler, electrical consumer unit, and insulation. For properties in the Narberth area, this is particularly valuable given the mix of traditional and modern construction methods encountered across different decades of development. Many properties in the SA67 7FH and SA67 7NX areas were built in the 1970s and 1980s, meaning key building services are now approaching the age where replacement may be needed.

Our surveyors also assess flood risk based on the property's location within the SA67 7 postcode. While Narberth itself is inland, certain sub-postcodes may have varying levels of flood risk depending on proximity to watercourses and the local topography. We note any visible signs of previous flooding or water damage and advise accordingly.

Your survey report uses the RICS traffic light rating system to clearly indicate the condition of different elements of the property. Red ratings indicate serious issues that require urgent attention, amber ratings show defects that need repairing but are not urgent, and green ratings denote satisfactory condition. This clear system makes it easy to prioritise any work that may be needed after you move in. Each rating is accompanied by a detailed explanation of the issue, what could happen if left untreated, and what our surveyor recommends as the next steps.

The report also includes a market value assessment and a rebuilding cost for insurance purposes, both of which are useful figures to have when arranging your mortgage and home insurance. For properties in SA67 7, where property values can vary significantly between different sub-postcodes, having an accurate independent valuation from a RICS surveyor adds another layer of confidence to your purchase. For example, properties in SA67 7EF have shown different price trends compared to those in SA67 7DR, making our local knowledge particularly valuable.

If the survey reveals any serious issues, the report includes a clear explanation of what the problem is, what could happen if it is left untreated, and what our surveyor recommends as the next steps. This might include further investigations by specialists such as structural engineers or damp specialists, quotes from contractors, or simply monitoring the condition over time. Having this information before you commit to the purchase could save you thousands of pounds in unexpected repair costs. Many buyers in the Narberth area have used survey findings to negotiate price reductions or request repairs before completion.
