Property Survey FAQs

What's the difference between Level 2 and Level 3 surveys? +

A RICS Level 2 survey (homebuyer report) is suitable for conventional Leicester properties in reasonable condition. It provides a visual inspection and condition rating. A Level 3 building survey is more comprehensive, examining every accessible part of the property in detail. It's essential for older properties, period homes, or buildings with defects. Our chartered surveyors can advise which survey your Leicester property needs.

Can I upgrade from Level 2 to Level 3 survey? +

Yes! If our surveyor identifies concerns during a Level 2 inspection, you can upgrade to a Level 3 building survey for more detailed investigation. We'll discuss this with you before completing the survey report, ensuring you get the right level of property assessment for your Leicester home.

Do surveys include a property valuation? +

RICS Level 2 homebuyer reports include a property valuation as standard. For Level 3 building surveys, RICS valuation is available as an optional extra. All our valuations are conducted by RICS qualified surveyors with extensive knowledge of Leicester's property market.
