  • What is the difference between the RICS Level 2 Report and other property surveys?

    Our RICS Level 2 Report is specifically tailored for properties built from around 1950 to the present day. It provides a comprehensive overview of the property's condition, highlighting potential issues in a clear 'traffic light' system. 


    Unlike basic valuation surveys, the Level 2 Report goes beyond surface evaluations, offering detailed insights to help you make informed decisions about your property investment.

  • How long does it take to receive the RICS Level 2 Report after the survey is conducted?

    The turnaround time for the RICS Level 2 Report depends on the complexity and size of the property. Generally, you can expect to receive the report within a few days after the survey is completed. 


    Our priority is to ensure accuracy and thoroughness, so while we strive for efficiency, we prioritise delivering a comprehensive and detailed report to assist you in your decision-making process.

  • What does the 'traffic light' system in the report indicate, and how should I interpret it?

    The 'traffic light' system in the report uses a color-coded scheme to signify the severity of potential issues identified by our surveyors. 


    Red indicates more serious concerns that may require immediate attention, amber signifies issues that need consideration, and green denotes items that are in good condition. The system is designed to provide a quick visual guide to help you prioritize and plan for any necessary repairs or maintenance.

  • Can I use the RICS Level 2 Report for negotiating the property price?

    Absolutely. The detailed information provided in the RICS Level 2 Report, especially the list of potential issues affecting the property's value, can be a valuable tool during negotiations. 


    Armed with this information, you can discuss adjustments to the property price with the seller, taking into account any necessary repairs or maintenance. The report empowers you with a clear understanding of the property's condition, allowing for more informed and successful negotiations.
