What is an RICS Home Survey – Level 2 (survey and valuation)

An RICS Home Survey – Level 2 (survey and valuation) provides a clear and concise report which is easy to understand and includes the following aspects.

  • Inspection of inside and outside but fabric and contents remain undisturbed.   The surveyor will inspect roof space and subfloor areas, if access can be obtained, but will not lift floor coverings or test services such as electricity and central heating.
  • A professional assessment of any significant or urgent issues that will affect the market value
  • A list of areas or concerns that require attention, advice on repairs and maintenance issues, and an overview of any legal considerations
  • An opportunity to discuss the report findings with the inspecting Chartered Surveyor

What does it include?

An RICS Home Survey – Level 2 (survey and valuation) includes a visual inspection of accessible areas, evaluating structural elements, roof, walls, floors, and services. The report provides a traffic light rating system for easy identification of problem areas, alongside advice on repairs and ongoing maintenance. It also includes a market valuation and insurance rebuild cost. This survey helps buyers make informed decisions without extensive technical detail.
