Our RICS Home Survey Level 2 provides comprehensive property condition assessments for traditional construction properties up to 100 years old. This detailed inspection identifies visible defects and maintenance requirements while offering practical advice on property upkeep. Ideal for buyers seeking mortgage valuation and condition overview without intrusive investigations.

The RICS Home Survey Level 3 offers exhaustive structural analysis for period properties, listed buildings, or properties requiring major renovations. This in-depth survey includes detailed defect analysis, repair recommendations, and technical drawings where necessary. Designed for buyers requiring full technical understanding of property condition prior to purchase.
