An RICS Level 2 Home Survey Report (formerly known as a Homebuyer Report) is an inspection and condition report that assesses and summarises the condition of a house. Coming in a format that is standardised by the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors), this report provides homebuyers with an overview of the property’s condition, identifying the main defects and overall condition of the house.
The RICS Level 2 Home Survey Report focuses on the condition of the house and the Surveyor’s general opinion of the property will also be provided. This type of inspection/report can also include a Valuation Assessment, providing the homebuyer with an accurate figure for the property in its current condition and taking into account the relevant market considerations.
Level 2 RICS Home Survey Reports (Homebuyer Report) also provide useful ratings on the basis of priority/urgency for the repairs required, giving you a clear idea of what needs addressing and in what order.
Is this survey for me?
This type of report is intended for houses of a conventional type and construction, usually less than a century old and in generally reasonable condition and not having been converted, significantly altered, or suffered any structural damage.
We generally advise clients that a Level 2 RICS Home Survey Report is an ‘entry level’ survey. For a more detailed, in-depth report, we also offer a Building Survey Report.
