Citybricks offers a range of surveys to suit your needs
Not sure which survey to choose?
A RICS Level 1 Survey is the simplest of the surveys. It’s aimed at home buyers or homeowners who are seeking a professional and objective report on the condition of a property. This report details the condition of the building, its services and grounds,
and provides an assessment of the relative importance or significance of any defect or issues.
The Level 1 report does not include advice on repairs or ongoing maintenance and where the surveyor is unable to reach a conclusion with reasonable confidence about any aspect of the property, the report will provide recommendations for further investigations.
A RICS Level 2 Survey is a survey designed for those who want a professional opinion of the condition of the main elements of a property. It provides a more extensive visual inspection of the building, its services (e.g. electrics, plumbing, heating) and grounds but does not include any testing. Concealed areas such as roof spaces, basements and cellars will be inspected if it is safe to do so. It will provide an assessment of the relative importance of any defects or problems and offer general advice about repairs and any ongoing maintenance issues.
The report will also draw attention to any relevant legal issues and/or obvious risks to the building, people, or grounds and the surveyor will provide advice on suitable additional services where the homeowner is planning on refurbishment work.Where the surveyor is unable to reach a conclusion with reasonable confidenceabout any aspect of the property, a recommendation for further investigations will be made.
