RICS LEVEL 2 HOMEBUYER SURVEYS IN LIVERPOOL
Buying a property in Liverpool? Our RICS Level 2 Home Survey is ideal for conventional homes, flats and modern housing across Wirral, Crosby, Bootle, Formby, and Southport. We provide clear, jargon-free advice to help you proceed with confidence.
IS THIS SURVEY RIGHT FOR YOUR LIVERPOOL PROPERTY?
A RICS Level 2 Home Survey is often the right choice if you are buying a conventional property in Liverpool, such as a modern house, a typical semi, or a purpose-built flat in broadly reasonable condition. With such a wide range of housing, from newer estates to traditional suburbs served by Merseyrail and key routes like the M62, a Level 2 survey provides a clear snapshot of defects and maintenance needs. If you are buying an older terrace, a period property, or a home that has been significantly altered or extended, a more detailed inspection may be better.

ABOUT LIVERPOOL
Liverpool is one of the UK’s most culturally significant cities, famous for its waterfront, UNESCO heritage history, and landmarks such as the Royal Albert Dock, Liverpool Cathedral and the Three Graces. The city has an incredibly varied property landscape, from Georgian terraces in the Georgian Quarter to Victorian housing across areas like Allerton, Wavertree and Woolton.
With excellent transport links including Lime Street Station, the Merseyrail network and major road routes through the M62 and Mersey tunnels, Liverpool continues to attract buyers, investors and developers. The city’s older housing stock and ongoing regeneration make surveys essential for identifying defects such as damp, movement, roof wear and outdated construction elements.
