What is a Level 2 Property Survey?

At Novello we focus on offering detailed Building Surveys for all types and ages of property and therefore this is not what we would recommend. Even the most modern properties can have hidden defects and therefore it is crucial to have a detailed survey. At Novello, we focus on providing the most detailed service possible and therefore do not compromise on the quality of reports we provide. We utilise years of training and in-the-field experience to inspect each element of your home, from the roof to the basement. Then, we compile our findings into a detailed report that we call the Novello Plus Building Survey.

Property Surveys ā€“ the traffic light system

What use is a building survey report if you canā€™t make any sense of it?

We make sure our reports are genuinely actionable, for you, your developer and any other third party involved.

To do this, we use the traffic light system to produce timely and easy-to-understand reports.

Serious defects noted that require urgent repair, replacement, overhaul or further investigations or tests by an appropriate contractor, specialist or engineer.

Repairs/Improvements

Less serious defects that are not considered to be as urgent, but nevertheless will require attention, repair, overhaul or replacement in due course.
