Level 2 Building Survey
Clarity, Confidence and Peace of Mind — All in One Report
Whether you’re buying your first home or adding to your property portfolio, our Level 2 Building Survey (formerly known as a Homebuyer Survey) gives you a clear, accurate picture of the property’s condition—before you commit. With expert insight and actionable advice, we help you make smart, informed decisions without the guesswork.
What Is a Level 2 Building Survey?
A Level 2 survey is a comprehensive internal and external inspection of the entire property—including outbuildings, gardens, and driveways. Every element is assessed using a clear traffic light rating system:
Red
Condition Rating 3
Urgent or serious issues
Amber
Condition Rating 2
Minor defects
Green
Condition Rating 1
No repairs needed
The report can also include a professional valuation, giving you added confidence during the buying process.
What’s Included?
