Our RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer Survey is designed to give you a clear picture of a property's condition before you complete your purchase. During our inspection, we assess all accessible areas of the property including the roof, walls, plumbing, electrics, and dampness levels. We identify any defects that might affect the property's value or require costly repairs, categorising them by severity so you understand which issues need immediate attention versus those that can be scheduled for future maintenance.
The survey includes a thorough visual inspection of the property's structure, with our surveyors checking for signs of subsidence, damp, rot, and structural movement. We examine the condition of windows, doors, and joinery, as well as the state of any garages, outbuildings, or boundary walls. Our comprehensive approach means you'll receive a detailed report that highlights both minor cosmetic defects and major concerns that could impact your decision to proceed with the purchase.
For properties in TN4 0, our local experience means we understand the common issues affecting homes in this area. Many properties in Tunbridge Wells were built during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, meaning our surveyors know exactly what to look for in terms of period-specific defects. We check for original features that may require specialist maintenance and identify any alterations that might not have the necessary building regulations approval. Our team has inspected hundreds of properties in this postcode, giving us invaluable insight into the typical defect patterns found locally.
The Level 2 survey uses a traffic light rating system to clearly communicate the condition of each element we inspect. Green ratings indicate no issues requiring attention, amber highlights defects that need fixing but aren't urgent, and red flags areas requiring urgent repair or further investigation by a specialist. This straightforward system makes it easy for you to prioritise works and negotiate with sellers if necessary based on documented evidence.
