RICS Level 2 Home Survey

The RICS Level 2 Home Survey (formerly known as a HomeBuyers survey) provides a comprehensive report on the general condition of the property and any significant defects. An optional valuation can be included (at an additional cost) together with a figure for insurance reinstatement cost. The report also highlights the specific risks to the property, and includes issues for your legal adviser and environmental information.

We can help you:

  • Make an informed property purchase decision.
  • Decide on the appropriate property price.
  • Budget for any maintenance and repairs.
  • Consider the requirement of specialist advice.
  • RICS Level 2 Survey Report

    The Level 2 home survey report and valuation is produced in the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) format, and provides a clear and professional document, using colour coded condition ratings for each of the building elements. Call us today, we serve Altrincham, Hale, Timperley and Sale.

    RICS Level 3 Home Survey

    The RICS Level 3 Home Survey (formerly known as a Building Survey) offers a more detailed report than the Level 2 survey, and explains the consequences of not carrying out the repairs. It provides a comprehensive assessment of the condition and construction of the property, and technical advice on any remedial work if required. This survey is particularly suitable for older properties, or properties which have been considerably altered or poorly maintained in the past.

    The Level 3 Survey includes:

  • A summary of the urgent repairs.
  • Detailed information regarding the construction of the property.
  • A description of the defects and essential repairs.
  • Advice on maintenance and repairs.
  • A photographic record.
  • Other aspects the Level 3 Survey covers:

    The Level 3 survey also includes information on issues for your legal advisor to consider, advice on the energy efficiency of the property and a comprehensive photographic record. A valuation is not included.

    We couldn't recommend Michael more. His report was detailed, thorough and timely. He kindly took time out of his holiday to call us and answer our questions. Michael clearly has a wealth of knowledge and experience and his insight was invaluable. Thank you Michael, for all your support!

    Taylor & Tait have completed two separate surveys for us in recent months and on both accounts were efficient, professional, helpful and informative. I would highly recommend during a house buying period which can be stressful - Taylor & Tait made everything seamless and stress free.

    Michael recently did a Level Three survey for us on an older style property in Urmston. He provided a very detailed and clear report, and was more than happy to answer the follow-on questions that we had. Very happy with the service!

    Michael was so accommodating with our request and given the urgency we needed the survey completed. He was extremely thorough in answering the questions we had on the level of survey we needed and explaining the fee and it was nice it was so easy to understand - no hidden fees or complexities. The survey was also extremely detailed, more than I expected even though we had decided to go for the level 3. Overall very happy with the speed, explanations, detail and simplicty of each part of working with Michael. Much appreciated.

    Michael did a level 3 survey for me during the purchase of my house. He organised the visit with the estate agents and delivered the report within 24 hours. The report was very thorough and he took time to talk through some of the issues around damp with me on the phone afterwards. I would highly recommend Taylor and Tait based on my experience!
