Residential property suitable for a Level 2 Home Survey

For conventional homes

Level 2 Survey

A clear, practical survey for conventional houses and flats that appear to be in reasonable condition.

A Level 2 Survey helps buyers understand significant visible defects, condition ratings and sensible next steps before exchange. It is designed to give enough detail to support a confident buying decision without the depth of a full building survey.

Best for: Modern or conventional homes where no major defects are suspected.
  • Condition ratings
  • Visible defects
  • Photographic evidence
  • Practical buying advice

Older property suitable for a Level 3 Building Survey

For higher-risk properties

Level 3 Survey

A more detailed building survey for older, altered, unusual or visibly defective properties.

A Level 3 Survey provides deeper defect analysis, more explanation around likely causes and clearer guidance on repair priorities. It is the right choice where construction, age, alterations or visible issues create extra uncertainty.

Best for: Older homes, extended properties, unusual construction and renovation projects.
  • Detailed defect analysis
  • Construction context
  • Repair priorities
  • Follow-up support

For hard to access areas

Drone Survey

High resolution aerial inspection for roofs, chimneys, gutters and areas difficult to assess from ground level.

Best for: Tall buildings, fragile roofs, chimney concerns and targeted roof evidence.
  • Aerial photography
  • Roof and chimney views
  • Safer inspection

Not sure where to start?

Most buyers choose between Level 2 and Level 3

If the property is conventional and appears well maintained, Level 2 is often suitable. If it is older, altered, unusual or visibly defective, Level 3 usually gives the deeper context you need.
