LEVEL 2 SURVEY FAQs
Q: Is a Level 2 Survey suitable for a Formby property?
A: Often yes for a conventional house, bungalow or purpose-built flat that appears reasonably maintained. Larger, older, extensively altered or unusual properties in Formby may justify the more detailed Level 3 Building Survey.
Q: What does the survey focus on in Formby?
A: We assess visible condition, including roofs, walls, floors, windows, dampness, services and signs of movement, with attention to the property types and common maintenance issues found locally.
Q: Can I upgrade if the property is older or altered?
A: Yes. If the building is large, historic, extensively altered, unusual or in poor condition, we can advise whether a Level 3 Building Survey is more appropriate before you instruct us.
