Level 2: home survey

Clear, independent advice before you commit to your property.

A Level 2 Home Survey, formerly known as a HomeBuyer Report, is the right choice for most conventional homes built from common materials and in reasonable condition.

It gives you a clear picture of the property's condition before you commit, helping you move forward with confidence — or renegotiate if something isn't right.

A Thorough Survey, Without the Jargon

Every survey is carried out personally and in line with RICS guidelines. We take the time to inspect the property properly rather than simply rushing through a checklist.

What’s Not Included

A Level 2 Survey is designed to provide a thorough visual assessment, but there are some limitations.

Moving furniture or lifting carpets

Inspecting covered, unexposed, locked or inaccessible areas

Inspecting roof spaces where safe access isn't available

Testing heating, electrical or drainage systems

Switching on or running services

Services are visually assessed but aren't tested for operation.

Need a more detailed inspection?

If a specific area requires further investigation, we'll advise you on the appropriate next steps.

Full Property Inspection

A thorough inspection of the property's condition, inside and out.

Repair & Maintenance Advice

Practical advice on repairs and maintenance that may be required.

Defects & Safety Concerns

Identification of visible defects, damp, structural issues and safety concerns.

Plain-English Report

A straightforward, jargon-free report that you can actually understand.

Clear Colour-Coded Ratings

Red, Amber and Green ratings show the urgency of the problems identified.

Talk It Through

The opportunity to discuss your property directly rather than simply receiving a PDF.
