Severn Surveyors Ltd provides independent RICS Level 2 and Level 3 home surveys in Didcot. If you are buying a property in Didcot or the surrounding area, a professional survey can help identify significant defects, repair liabilities and areas requiring further investigation before you become legally committed to the purchase.
Didcot includes a large number of later twentieth century and modern homes together with older property in surrounding villages. Although many houses are of more conventional construction, age related wear, past alterations and hidden maintenance issues can still affect repair liabilities and future costs.
A Level 2 survey is usually appropriate for many conventional houses, flats and bungalows of standard construction that appear to be in reasonable condition.
The report highlights significant defects, urgent repair needs and matters that may justify further investigation before you proceed.
A Level 3 survey is generally more suitable for older property, altered or extended homes, buildings of non standard construction and property where visible condition appears poorer or more complex.
It provides more detailed advice on construction, visible defects and the likely implications of repairs and future maintenance.

The most suitable survey depends on the age, construction, condition and complexity of the property. More conventional homes may be suited to a Level 2 survey, while older, altered, extended or non standard properties will often justify a Level 3 survey.
Can you inspect older and period property?
Yes. Older and more characterful property often benefits from a more detailed survey approach, particularly where there are concerns about dampness, movement, roofing defects, timber decay or previous alterations.
Do you cover areas around Didcot as well?
Yes. Severn Surveyors Ltd also covers surrounding towns and villages, subject to location and availability.
