RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer Survey in Uttoxeter Rural

The Level 2 survey includes a visual inspection of the property's accessible areas, assessing the overall condition and identifying any defects that need attention. It uses a traffic light rating system (red, amber, green) to highlight issues, from urgent repairs to minor cosmetic problems. The report also includes a market value estimate and a reinstatement figure for insurance purposes. We check all major structural elements including the roof, walls, foundations, damp proof courses, and internal fixtures, providing you with a comprehensive assessment of the property's condition before you commit to your purchase in the Uttoxeter Rural area.
