RICS Home Survey Level 2
A detailed visual inspection of the property with clear traffic-light condition ratings. The right choice for conventional homes in reasonable condition, and it includes a call with your surveyor to talk through the findings, with our report back within 5 working days.
Who it’s for
Flats, terraced, semi-detached and detached houses of standard construction and in reasonable condition, regardless of age. If the property is extended, altered or unusual, we'll recommend a Level 3 instead, honestly and at no charge.
What’s included
Every RICS Home Survey Level 2 is priced individually for the property, based on its location, value and complexity. The fee is fixed, includes VAT, and is confirmed before you commit to anything. It takes about a minute to get your quote.

When I contacted Jake he was extremely helpful and explained the whole process in detail. The price was very competitive and, when the survey was carried out, it was very thorough and detailed — I received the report within 24 hours of it being completed. I would certainly recommend Jake and his team to complete your survey.

We approached House Smart on a Monday for a Level 2 homebuyer's report. We were on a bit of a tight deadline, but they turned it around and we had the report by Thursday. Fantastic communication from Jamie and Steven. Could not be happier — thoroughly recommend.

We used House Smart for a Level 2 home buyers survey. We'd had a rough time with the survey process when we moved a few years ago — this was far from that. Quick, friendly, and Steven was a great help talking us through the report once we'd received it.
