UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSE SURVEYS
​RICS surveys act as comprehensive “health checks” for properties, assessing their condition and structural integrity. If you’re buying a home, you can choose from three survey levels: a Full Building Survey (Level 3 or Full Structural Survey), a HomeBuyer Survey (Level 2), or a Condition Survey (Level 1). Knowing which survey to commission can save you money. Reports can be used to negotiate property prices or to decide whether to proceed with a purchase. Sellers can also benefit by identifying issues beforehand, preventing last-minute disputes or failed sales. Homeowners with specific concerns can opt for a Specific Defect Survey, which provides guidance on remedial measures and associated costs. For properties under schemes like Help to Buy or Right to Buy, an RICS Valuation gives an independent assessment of property value. Get in touch with us to learn more.

RICS HOME SURVEY LEVEL 1 (CONDITION REPORT)
A RICS Home Survey Level 1, previously known as a Condition Report, is the most basic and cost-effective house survey, ideal for newer, well-maintained, conventional homes. It provides a clear overview of the property’s general condition using a simple traffic-light system (red, amber, green) to highlight urgent issues. This survey is non-intrusive, so it does not offer detailed advice on repairs or ongoing maintenance, nor does it include a property valuation, making it a straightforward option for those seeking a concise snapshot of a home’s condition.
LEVEL 2 (HOMEBUYER) SURVEY
The Level 2 HomeBuyer Survey is our most popular option, suitable for the majority of homes. Designed to help you make an informed decision, it provides a clear assessment of the property’s condition, including garages and outbuildings. Ideal for traditionally constructed houses, bungalows, or flats, this survey highlights any issues that may affect your purchase, giving you the insight needed to proceed confidently. Its detailed yet accessible report makes it a practical choice for most buyers looking for comprehensive guidance without the complexity of a full structural survey.
LEVEL 3 (FULL BUILDING) SURVEY
The Level 3 Full Building Survey is ideal for older, run-down, or unusually constructed properties, including those that are listed or have been significantly altered or extended. This comprehensive survey provides a detailed report covering all the main elements of the property. It offers expert advice on construction, specific defects, and any proposed major alterations or extensions. The survey can also include bespoke investigations into areas of particular concern, giving you a complete understanding of the property’s condition and potential issues. Perfect for buyers seeking thorough insight, this survey ensures you are fully informed before making a significant property investment.

Very fair pricing & a quality service. Highly recommend without a doubt. Thank you for a great job. Alan. Hightown.​
