Buying a home is often the most expensive thing you’ll ever purchase, don’t take any risks and arrange either a Level 2 Home-buyer/condition Survey or a Level 3 Building Survey Report
A RICS Level 2/3 Survey
A RICS Level 2 Survey (which can be either with or without a valuation) is often referred to as a Homebuyer Survey, but it can only be carried out by a RICS registered Surveyor.
A Homebuyer report is typically carried out to aid a purchaser make an informed decision before buying a house. It also helps to identify any areas that may need remedial work or maintenance in the future.
If your prospective new home is an old building or one that is in need of refurbishment, then instead of a Homebuyer Report (Level 2) you may wish to consider getting a full Building Survey (Level 3) (Formerly the Building Survey, sometimes referred to as a “Full Structural Survey”) which is a more comprehensive report.

Coastline did an excellent survey for us. We are selling my mother's house and were concerned about some structural issues. The survey was thorough and the report was very detailed, which was very helpful. I recommend Coastline Building Surveys Ltd
