When it comes to purchasing a new property, an RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) Home Survey can provide you with peace of mind by identifying any potential issues with the property and help you avoid unexpected maintenance costs in the future. There are two types of RICS Home Surveys that Navah Connsulting offers being: Level 3 and Level 2 surveys/reports.

Level 3 reports, also known as Building Surveys, are the most comprehensive and detailed of the two. They are recommended for older or more complex properties or those that have undergone significant alterations. A Level 3 report provides a thorough inspection of the property, including its structure, roofs, walls, floors, ceilings, and services. The report will include detailed findings and recommendations on any defects, potential risks, or required repairs.

Level 2 reports, also known as HomeBuyer Reports, are suitable for more modern properties that are in a reasonable condition. A Level 2 report provides a less detailed inspection than a Level 3 report but still offers a comprehensive evaluation of the property. The surveyor will examine the property's interior and exterior, looking for any significant issues that could impact its value or future maintenance costs. The report will include an overview of the property's condition, an evaluation of any defects or issues found, and a summary of any significant risks that may need attention.

In summary, Level 3 reports offer a more in-depth and detailed assessment of the property, making them suitable for older or complex properties, while Level 2 reports provide a more general evaluation of the property's condition and are best suited for modern properties. By investing in an RICS Home Survey, you can gain valuable insights into the property's condition, making an informed decision on whether to proceed with the purchase and plan for any necessary repairs or maintenance costs.
