RICS HomeBuyer Report/ RICS Level 2 Home Survey Report in London and the Home Counties

At Capital Chartered, we specialise in RICS HomeBuyer Reports, designed for buyers of traditional, straightforward properties that are in reasonable condition. Our comprehensive reports provide buyers with a clear understanding of a property’s condition, highlighting key issues and applying condition ratings to identified defects. With our reports, buyers receive reliable insights and an independent opinion of the property’s market value, helping them make informed decisions.

What is an RICS HomeBuyer Report/ RICS Level 2 Home Survey Report?

The RICS HomeBuyer Report, also known as a Level 2 RICS survey, is an intermediate-level survey suitable for standard types of residential properties, such as houses and flats. It assesses a property’s overall condition, identifying critical issues and assigning a condition rating. Unlike some firms that do not offer the official RICS HomeBuyer Report, Capital Chartered provides the licensed product to ensure accuracy and reliability. The report includes a market valuation of the property, helping buyers negotiate effectively. The RICS HomeBuyer Report is also known as a RICS Level 2 Survey or RICS Level 2 HomeBuyers Survey.

Why does an RICS Homebuyer Report matter?

The cost of a report can feel like another expense on top of many when purchasing a property. However, relying solely on a lender’s valuation can be risky, as it does not assess the property’s condition. Our HomeBuyer Report is tailored to provide essential information at an accessible price, enabling buyers to better understand the property’s state and identify potential issues that may affect its value. An independent house buyers survey from Capital Chartered can help buyers avoid unexpected costs and make well-informed investment decisions.
