RICS Home Survey Level 2
For Homebuyers Across the Midlands and East of England
Homebuyer report Level 2 for impartial assessment of residential properties
CWH Surveyors provides RICS Home Survey Level 2 reports for residential property buyers across the Midlands and East of England. A RICS-qualified surveyor assesses the property’s condition and reports on significant defects, repairs or maintenance that may be required, areas needing further investigation and relevant matters to raise with your conveyancer.
A Level 2 Home Survey is also commonly associated with the term Homebuyer Report. It provides significant detail about the property’s condition while being less extensive than a RICS Level 3 survey.

Why Do I Need a Level 2 Homebuyer Survey?
Make sure your dream home is not a nightmare in disguise with the RICS Home Survey Level 2 Report (the new name for Home Buyers’ reports).
Having a CWH Surveyors’ RICS Home Survey Level 2 Report, backed by the full authority of RICS, is a cost-effective way of obtaining peace of mind and confidence in the property buying process.
All too often we hear of stories about ‘homes from hell’ where homeowners have been lumbered with huge bills for repairs or replacements that they didn’t expect. Having a survey carried out by an RICS Chartered Surveyor is a great way to help you ensure you’re not hit with any nasty unexpected bills.
