Severn Surveyors Ltd provides independent RICS Level 2 and Level 3 home surveys in Redditch. If you are buying a property in Redditch 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.
Redditch has a large stock of later twentieth century housing together with older property in outlying areas and nearby villages. Although many homes are of more conventional construction, alterations, deferred maintenance and age related defects can still have a significant impact on repair costs.
A Level 2 survey is often suitable for many houses, flats and bungalows of standard construction where the property appears to be in reasonable condition and has not been heavily altered.
The report highlights significant defects, urgent matters and any areas where specialist advice may be sensible before purchase.
A Level 3 survey is usually more appropriate where a property is older, extended, altered, larger, of non standard construction or where condition appears poorer.
This provides a more detailed inspection and fuller advice on visible defects, likely repair implications and future maintenance issues.
Severn Surveyors Ltd is an independent RICS regulated firm providing clear, practical advice to homebuyers. Surveys are intended to help you understand the condition of the property, highlight significant repair issues and make better informed decisions before exchange of contracts.
Where suitable and weather permitting, inspections may also include the use of a drone to view higher level roofing elements that may otherwise be difficult to inspect clearly from the ground.

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 Redditch as well?
Yes. Severn Surveyors Ltd also covers surrounding towns and villages, subject to location and availability.
