Do I need a RICS homebuyer survey?

A Level 2 HomeBuyer report will help you understand what you are really buying. If you decide to buy a property, you want to be well informed. Many properties have hidden issues that only become apparent once you have bought and moved into your new home, instructing a Surveyor to carry out a survey significantly reduces that risk. A Level 2 HomeBuyer survey is a comprehensive check of your chosen property so that you are well equipped to deal with possible issues that might make you reconsider. The report may also help you re-negotiate the property price if issues are apparent.

What type of properties requires a HomeBuyer survey and report?

Homes built within the last 50 years with standard construction material, and without any significant repair or major works are suitable for a Level 2 HomeBuyer survey.

· You need a survey if you want to make sure that the property is in the condition that was stated when you viewed it

· If the property seems to have everything going for it but the price is surprisingly low, a Level 2 HomeBuyer survey might give you a reason why that is.

· The survey will help you to determine if the work that is needed is worth the low asking price, or whether you should continue your search elsewhere
