What is the Novello HomeLevel Report?

Just like the RICS HomeBuyer Report, the HomeLevel Report is a Level 2 property survey carried out by our certified RICS Chartered surveyors. In addition to everything the HomeBuyer Report includes, our HomeLevel Survey report traffic light ranks each individual defect ensuring the most serious issues are clear to you.

Better still, it includes an examination of at least 20 crucial interior and exterior elements of a property. And, utilising mobile technology to our advantage, we guarantee to have your concise but comprehensive report to you in just a few days.
If you require a level 2 property survey for a home in reasonable condition, the HomeLevel Report by Novello is the obvious choice.

  • Gauge the safety and condition of a property
  • Decide whether the home’s asking price is fair

Novello HomeLevel Report

Our HomeLevel Report is easier to understand, more comprehensive and even better value than the RICS HomeBuyer Report, providing you with the knowledge you need to purchase a home in the 21st century. It’s suitable for most property types, but especially those that are in a reasonable condition, recently constructed or not extensively modified.

If you are purchasing a property that’s large, old or in poor condition – or if you just want a more thorough report – our Full Building Survey report may be more suitable.

We’re a forward-thinking team of RICS Chartered Surveyors with a mission to arm our clients with the crucial information they need to invest in a home with confidence. Call us, and we’ll be happy to provide advice over the phone.

RICS HomeBuyer v Novello HomeLevel

Both the RICS HomeBuyer and Novello HomeLevel reports are level two reports, which means they are a visual inspection of all accessible areas, but are less comprehensive than a full building survey. The RICS HomeBuyer Report is over 25 years old and in that time a lot has changed in the property world. That’s why we have developed our own Novello HomeLevel report as a bespoke product that provides you with the information you want and need to purchase a home in the 21st Century.

We believe our HomeLevel reports is easier to understand and goes further to provide you with a clearly ranked list of the most significant defects.

This service is delivered in accordance with the Home survey standard (1st edition) RICS professional statement and is equivalent to a level two survey.
