RICS Level 2 Building Survey 

If you’re looking to buy a modern property in good condition, a level 2 building survey could be the right choice for you. This home buyer's survey is for modern properties that don’t need major repairs. Our Level 2 surveyor will provide you with a clear and concise report, which includes:

A detailed inspection of the property’s structure and condition: 

• Identification of visible defects such as damp, cracks, and issues with roofing
• Advice on repairs or potential future issues
• An assessment of any areas of concern, such as the electrics, plumbing, and insulation
• A market valuation of the property and an estimate of the cost of repairs (if required)

At Cornerstone Surveyors, we ensure that our level 2 survey meets the RICS level 2 standards, providing you with peace of mind that you are receiving a thorough and professional service. Whether you are looking to buy a home in Gloucester or anywhere in Gloucestershire, we can help.

If you are considering purchasing a new property, a level 2 home survey is often the most suitable choice to ensure awareness of any underlying issues. 

RICS Level 3 Building Survey

For older properties or those that may require more detailed examination, a level 3 survey is the most thorough survey available. This survey is ideal for properties that are listed, older, or need extensive renovation or repair. It is also recommended for buildings with unusual construction, such as barns or properties that have been heavily altered.

A level 3 RICS building survey will provide an in-depth evaluation, giving you a clear understanding of the building’s condition. The survey includes:

• A detailed inspection of the entire property, including hidden areas like the roof space and subfloor
• An extensive analysis of the property’s condition, highlighting structural defects, subsidence, dampness, and other potential issues
• Comprehensive advice on repairs and maintenance, as well as future costs
• Information on how the property may be affected by issues such as conservation regulations, which may be important for listed buildings in Gloucestershire
• High-quality photographs to support the findings

This is the most detailed survey available, which is conducted by our local surveyors, who are fully qualified to provide you with a level 3 home survey that meets all professional standards.

If purchasing an older property or a listed building in Gloucestershire, a level 3 survey will give you the peace of mind you need to know exactly what you’re dealing with. This survey can help identify any issues early on, saving you time and money in the long term.
