RICS Home Survey - Level 2

RICS Home Survey (Level 2) – previously called an RICS Homebuyer Report.

Our Level 2 surveys are the most frequently chosen survey and report commissioned by client’s buying a new home.

The RICS Home Survey (Level 2) is a visual inspection of a property, that evaluates the overall condition of a building and highlights any obvious defects.

Our report will assist you to make a reasoned and informed judgement about the property. Crucially, whether you make the decision to purchase or not.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) have decreed that a Home Survey (Level 2) is the most appropriate for modern homes of conventional construction that are in a reasonable state of repair.

For older buildings that require (or have undergone) major alterations or refurbishment, or those built with non-standard methods and materials, they recommend that a detailed RICS Home Survey (Level 3), formally called a RICS Building Survey is chosen.

My Homebuyer survey and report (RICS Level 2) fee scale starts at just £375.00.

RICS Home Survey - Level 3

RICS Home Survey (Level 3) – previously called an RICS Building Survey.

The RICS Home Survey (Level 3) assesses the construction of a building and its structural integrity. It is designed to provide a greater explanation of any defects, along with recommendations for remedial action.

It is usually recommended for buildings over 70-80 years old, or with significant historical damage.

All of our RICS Home Survey reports use the RICS standard reporting traffic light system. This enables clients to easily understand areas of the property that need attention free of industry jargon.

Green: no action required.

Amber: defects requiring attention and repair but not urgently.

Red: serious defects requiring urgent attention and repair.

My Building survey and report (RICS Level 3) fee scale starts at just £550.00.

We have held back house survey slots available each week!! Why wait?

As a first time buyer going through the house buying process has been one of the most stressful things I've done. As part of that process you'll more than likely be looking at getting a RICS survey done at some point during. Do yourself a favour and go with Illuminati Surveyors. Simon was able to get me booked in within a week when I was being quoted 1+ months for a survey and the price was very competitive. Due to some unforeseen circumstances (with the house, not Simon) he had to go back multiple times to get the survey done which he was more than happy to do for us at no additional cost.The survey itself, when it came through, was comprehensive and well laid out. Simon kindly went through the key points over the phone as well to make it easier to digest. I can't fault the service from Illuminati. If I ever need a survey again, I'll be going through them. Thank you Simon. 5*!

Super efficient local surveyor. I enquired on Wednesday and the survey was carried out on the Friday! The report is really detailed and good at explaining things that I have never come across before. This has definitely been a worthwhile service and I would recommend Illuminati Surveyors to other prospective buyers.

The quality of service was excellent. Simon was very helpful throughout the process. The report was very detailed and we could speak on the phone to discuss it. Considering the very detailed report and prompt service we found his services very good value for money.

Can't fault this company at all. Great communication pre-survey, very quick availability and competitive pricing. Afterwards I promptly received a very detailed Level 2 Survey. Would recommend and use again.

5 Star Illuminati Surveyors.A family member recommended Illuminati Surveyors. They carried out a Home Buyer survey for us, and the whole process was faultless. The excellent report gave us the confidence to commit to the purchase. Simon, the surveyor, was excellent and took the time to answer our questions. We would definitely recommend Illuminati Surveyors to other home buyers.

Thankyou Simon for a very detailed and comprehensive survey . Highly recommended .Date of experience: 20 September 2024
