RICS Level 2 Home Survey: Homebuyer report
The most popular survey for homebuyers in Surrey
The RICS Level 2 Home Survey is the most popular choice for homebuyers looking at conventional, standard-condition properties across Guildford, Woking and the GU postcodes. It provides clear, concise, and expert advice to help you make an informed decision and negotiate potential price reductions.
This survey, often referred to as a Homebuyer Report, gives you peace of mind by highlighting potential defects before you commit to the purchase. I also offer a Home Condition report, which follows the same process, without the valuation element. This is becoming increasingly popular, so just ask me for options when you get in touch.
What does the RICS Home Survey include?
The Level 2 survey is a detailed, non-intrusive inspection of the property, providing a traffic-light rating system for defects.
| Rating | Condition | Action Required |
| Green | Good condition. | No repair is currently needed. |
| Amber | Defects need repair or replacement, but are not urgent. | Investigate further or budget for repair work. |
| Red | Serious defects or urgent repairs needed. | Requires immediate repair or specialist investigation. |
