Why do I need a RICS Level 2 report?
The RICS Level 2 Home Survey provides valuable information and guidance to buyers, including any repairs or maintenance that may be required and can help buyers to make an informed decision about the property, and plan for future repairs, maintenance, and costs. It is generally recommended for anyone who is considering purchasing a property.
What’s Included In The Report
- Red, amber and green colour coding system to rate the seriousness of any issues found
- Background details on the residential dwelling and it's location
- An estimate for the rebuild cost for insurance purposes
- An assessment of the presence of any damp-proofing, drainage or insulation (drains are not tested)
- A check of the buildings woodwork condition, looking for any woodworm or rot
- Testing walls for damp
The Report Will Enable You To:
Negotiate the price
If the report highlights any significant defects or issues that may affect the property's value, the buyer may be able to negotiate a lower purchase price with the seller.
Plan for repairs and maintenance
The report highlights any repairs or maintenance that may need to be addressed in the future, which can help the buyer to plan for these costs and budget accordingly.
Make an informed decision
The report provides a comprehensive assessment of the property's condition, which can help the buyer to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the purchase.
Request repairs
If the report highlights any urgent or significant defects, the buyer may be able to request that the seller carry out these repairs before the sale is completed.
