What is a RICS Level 2 Survey?
The RICS Level 2 Home Survey is the most popular choice for home buyers. It is specifically designed for conventional residential properties that are in reasonable condition and have not undergone significant structural changes.
This report provides a clear assessment of the property's condition, using a traffic-light system to highlight defects. It helps you identify issues that might affect the value or safety of your prospective home.
