Level 2 Residential Building Survey
Gemstock provide Level 2 residential building surveys for homebuyers in Plymouth & surrounding areas.
What is a Level 2 Residential Building Survey?
The ISVA HomeSurvey is broadly equivalent to RICS Survey Level 2 and is available exclusively from members of the Independent Surveyors’ and Valuers’ Association (other types of Level 2 survey are available). The information is provided in a straightforward concise format, which is easy to read and understand.
The report is based on a visual inspection of as much of the interior and exterior of the building as is reasonably and safely accessible. A full description of the service is given in the Terms of Engagement and Scope of Work which your surveyor will provide. This type of report is suitable for most conventionally built residential properties. Your surveyor will advise you further in this respect, during the preliminary discussion.
The report includes comments on: the internal and external condition of the property (including an overview of the service installations); major defects or other shortcomings that, in the surveyors’ opinion, are likely to affect your decision to purchase; the overall condition of any permanent outbuildings and the site; and any particular points or issues that you should refer to your legal adviser.
