RICS Level 2 Survey in Weston and Crewe Green

Our Level 2 Homebuyer Survey provides a thorough inspection of the property's condition, covering all accessible areas including the roof, walls, floors, windows, doors, and plumbing and electrical systems. In Weston and Crewe Green, where we see a mix of property ages and styles from traditional brick-built homes to more recent developments, our surveyors pay particular attention to common issues that affect properties in the Cheshire East region. The survey includes a visual inspection of the property's exterior, interior rooms, garage, and any outbuildings, giving you a complete picture of the property's condition.

We examine the structural integrity of the property, checking for signs of subsidence, movement, or structural defects that could affect the building's stability. Our surveyors look for damp penetration, rot in timber elements, and the condition of roof coverings and gutters. In older properties, which make up a significant portion of the housing stock in both Weston and Crewe Green, we pay special attention to the condition of original features and any alterations that may have been made over the years.

The report includes clear condition ratings for each element inspected: Condition Rating 1 means no repair is currently needed, Condition Rating 2 indicates repairs are needed but are not urgent, and Condition Rating 3 highlights serious issues that require immediate attention. This straightforward rating system helps you understand exactly what work may be needed after you move in and allows you to budget accordingly for any renovation or repair costs.

Our surveyors also check the condition of any extensions or conservatories, verifying that any building work meets current regulations and is structurally sound. In this area, we frequently encounter properties that have been extended over the years, and we ensure these additions are properly integrated with the main structure and do not compromise the building's integrity.

Your Level 2 Homebuyer Survey report is designed to give you a clear understanding of the property's condition without overwhelming you with technical detail. Each section of the property is described in plain English, with photographs illustrating any issues found.
