RICS LEVEL 2 HOMEBUYER SURVEYS IN CHESHIRE

IS THIS SURVEY RIGHT FOR YOUR CHESHIRE PROPERTY?
A RICS Level 2 Home Survey is often suitable for buyers purchasing a conventional property in Cheshire, for example a modern family home, a standard brick-built semi, or a purpose-built flat in generally reasonable condition. Across commuter areas served by the M56, M6 and direct rail links into Manchester and Liverpool, many homes are newer or traditionally built, making a Level 2 survey a practical option for identifying visible defects and maintenance needs. If you are buying a period property, a heavily extended home, or anything with complex construction, you may need a more detailed inspection.
