There are three types of homebuyer survey that you can choose from as defined by the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors):
Rics Level 1 Survey
Ideal for newer properties or those in good condition, the Rics Level 1 Survey focuses on visible and accessible areas of the property. It’s a quick, cost-effective option that gives you an overview of the property’s condition and highlights any significant issues.
This survey is mainly used if you are buying or selling a property that is of typical construction and is in good condition
Rics Level 2 Survey
Also known as a level 2 homebuyers survey, this report includes all of the features of the RICS Condition Report and advises on maintenance issues and defects that may affect the property’s value. It also provides recommendations for any further investigations that may be required.
The Rics Level 2 Survey is the right choice for homes that are in reasonable condition but may require further inspection in certain areas.
Rics Level 3 Survey
Also known as a level 3 building survey, this is a more comprehensive survey which includes a thorough inspection of visible defects and their causes and effects. The report also outlines repair options, provides advice for your legal adviser and details any serious and dangerous conditions.
