Buying a property in Manchester? Our RICS Level 2 Home Survey is ideal for conventional homes, flats and modern housing across Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Didsbury, and Altrincham. We provide clear, jargon-free advice to help you proceed with confidence.
IS THIS SURVEY RIGHT FOR YOUR MANCHESTER PROPERTY?
A RICS Level 2 Home Survey is often suitable for buyers purchasing a conventional property in Manchester, such as a modern house, a typical semi, or a purpose-built flat in generally reasonable condition. With fast moving markets across areas served by the M60 and Metrolink, a Level 2 survey can be a practical way to identify visible defects and maintenance risks early. If you are purchasing an older terrace, a converted building, or a property with extensive alterations, you may need a more detailed inspection.

ABOUT MANCHESTER
Manchester is one of the UK’s fastest-growing cities, known for its industrial heritage, thriving economy and major developments across the city centre and surrounding boroughs. Areas such as Didsbury, Chorlton, Salford and Stockport offer a wide range of housing, from Victorian terraces to high-rise apartments and new-build neighbourhoods.
The city is exceptionally well connected, with Manchester Piccadilly, Victoria Station, Metrolink tram routes and direct motorway access via the M60 orbital network. With rapid development and a mix of older and modern buildings, buyers often require detailed surveys to assess construction quality, alterations, cladding concerns and long-term repair liabilities.
