The RICS Home Survey Level 2 is designed to help buyers understand the visible condition of a property before exchange of contracts. It highlights significant defects, repair issues and matters that may affect your decision to proceed.
The survey was previously commonly referred to as a HomeBuyer Report or HomeBuyer Survey.
According to RICS guidance, a Level 2 survey is generally suitable for conventionally built residential properties that appear to be in reasonable condition.
