What is a Level 2 Property Survey?

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 HomeLevel Report. It’s our modern, signature Level 2 survey that contains all the same information as a HomeBuyer Report. The only difference is: we give you more for your money – much more.

Learn more about HomeLevel vs HomeBuyer reports.

Using our impartial surveys, you can:

Assess the overall condition of a property
Find out about any repair or maintenance issues
Receive impartial advice to guide you through the purchasing process
Work with a friendly and modern team of experts who remain your trusted partners – indefinitely

We take a fresh approach to surveying homes. We conduct surveys in compliance with the most stringent standards set out by RICS, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

However, we go above and beyond what’s required because the partnerships we build with our clients are what matter to us the most.

That, and helping you invest wisely.

On top of our knowledge, we use the latest technologies and tools to identify problems lurking behind every corner of your home. We also maintain open communications with you throughout every step of the process.
