A Level 2 HomeBuyer Report is suitable for most standard properties built after 1930 in reasonable condition. It provides a clear condition rating for every accessible element of the property. A Level 3 Building Survey is a more detailed inspection appropriate for older properties, those of unusual construction, or where significant works are planned. It includes a more thorough examination including roof spaces, subfloor areas where accessible, and a detailed commentary on construction methods and materials.
A Level 2 HomeBuyer Report typically takes 2–3 hours on site depending on the size and condition of the property. A Level 3 Building Survey usually takes 3–5 hours. The written report is prepared following the inspection and delivered within 5 working days.
Yes. If significant defects are found before exchange of contracts, the survey report provides independent evidence to support a price reduction or request for remedial works by the seller. Condition Rating 2 and 3 findings are commonly used in renegotiation. Your surveyor can talk you through the findings and their significance once you have reviewed the report.
A mortgage valuation is carried out solely for the lender's purposes to confirm the property is adequate security for the loan. It is not a survey and does not assess the condition of the property. You should always commission an independent survey to protect your own interests before purchasing. The cost of a survey is small compared to the potential cost of unknown defects.
Your survey report will be delivered by email within 5 working days of the inspection. Once you have reviewed the report your surveyor is available by telephone to discuss the findings, explain any technical points, and advise on next steps.
