Ask about your property ↗Is a Level 2 survey right for my property?
It is generally intended for conventional properties in reasonable condition. Older, extensively altered or unusual buildings, or those in poor condition, may require a Level 3 survey. We’ll review suitability before booking.
What does “from £399” mean?
£399 is the advertised starting price. A written quote will confirm the fee for your property and any applicable VAT before you book. The final price depends on location, size, type and condition.
Is this the same as a mortgage valuation?
No. A mortgage valuation is for your lender’s purposes. A Level 2 Home Survey focuses on the property’s condition to help you make an informed purchase decision. A valuation is not included unless agreed.
Does a survey uncover every defect?
No. A Level 2 survey is visual and non-invasive, subject to safe access and the agreed scope. Concealed defects may remain undetected, services are not tested, and the report may recommend specialist investigations.
Which areas do you cover?
We welcome enquiries for properties across England and Wales. Availability is checked for your postcode, and the surveyor, fee and service arrangements will be confirmed before booking. We do not cover Scotland, Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland.
