RICS Home Survey – Level 2
You should choose an RICS Homebuyers Report if you would like more extensive information when buying a conventional house, flat or bungalow, which is built from common building materials and is in reasonable condition, and you would like information and advice on construction, condition and repairs. An RICS Homebuyers Report will cost more than some other types of survey, such as an RICS Condition Report, but it will give you more detail on the state and condition of the property, which you’ll find of great value when assessing if it’s the right property for you.
RICS Home Survey – Level 3
You should choose an RICS Level 3 Building Survey (formerly called a structural survey) if you’re dealing with a large, older or run-down property, a building that is unusual or altered, or if you’re planning major works.
It costs more than the Level 2 Homebuyer Survey report because it includes more detailed information about the structure and fabric of the property.
