What are the different types of house surveys?

 There are three types of recognised Home Survey available for your home according to the RICS:

• Level 1 Home Survey (previously RICS Condition report),
• Level 2 Home Survey (previously RICS Homebuyers report), and
• Level 3 Home Survey (previously RICS Building report). 

What is Level 1 Home Survey?

The Level 1 Home Survey is generally the most basic assessment of a property, often done by a surveyor who is not a qualified RICS surveyor. This is usually a visual inspection of the interior and exterior of the property, checking for structural stability, although any issues that are found may not be investigated further.

What is Level 2 Home Survey?

The Level 2 Home Survey offers a more comprehensive assessment of the property, and is conducted by a qualified RICS surveyor. This survey will provide a more detailed report and will include information about any significant issues with the property, as well as advice on any remediation works that may be required.

What is Level 3 Home Survey?

The Level 3 Home Survey is the most comprehensive survey available, and is usually conducted by a chartered surveyor. This survey will provide a detailed report on all aspects of the property, including any structural issues, and will also provide advice on any remediation works that may be required.

These detailed assessments of the property will give you peace of mind that you have a full and accurate picture when entering into any property transaction. It is important to choose the right survey for your needs, as this will ensure that you get the most out of your survey and are able to make an informed decision about your property purchase or sale.
