IS THIS SURVEY RIGHT FOR YOUR CHESTER PROPERTY?
A RICS Level 2 Home Survey is often the right choice for a conventional purchase in Chester, such as a modern house, a typical semi in areas like Upton or Great Boughton, or a purpose-built flat. It helps highlight condition issues that can be missed on viewings, while keeping the focus on practical risks for buyers in a city with a wide mix of older suburbs and newer development, plus strong links via the A55 and rail routes. If you are buying an older property close to the city centre or a home that has been altered or extended, a more detailed survey may be advisable.

ABOUT CHESTER
Chester is one of the UK’s most historic cities, renowned for its Roman walls, medieval Rows, and landmarks such as Chester Cathedral and the River Dee. The city centre is surrounded by a mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian suburbs and modern developments, with popular residential areas including Hoole, Boughton, Handbridge and Upton.
Chester also plays an important role as a regional hub, with strong rail connections to Liverpool, Manchester and North Wales, alongside easy access to the M53 and A55. Its combination of heritage property and modern expansion means surveys are particularly valuable for identifying issues such as damp, movement, roof defects and alterations to older buildings.
