IS THIS SURVEY RIGHT FOR YOUR NORTH WALES PROPERTY?
A RICS Level 2 Home Survey is often a good fit for buyers purchasing a conventional property in North Wales, such as a modern house, a typical semi, or a purpose-built flat in reasonable condition. With the A55 linking many coastal and commuter areas, buyers often benefit from a clear assessment of condition, particularly where weather exposure can affect roofs, walls and ventilation. If you are buying an older stone-built home, a coastal property, or a building that has been heavily altered, a more detailed inspection may be preferable.

LEVEL 2 SURVEY FAQs
Q: Is a Level 2 Survey suitable for stone properties?
A: It can be, if the construction is conventional and the property seems to be in reasonable condition. For older or more complex stone buildings, a Level 3 is often more suitable.
Q: Do coastal conditions change what you look for?
A: Yes, we pay close attention to weather exposure, roof details, external finishes and damp risks that can be more common near the coast.
Q: Will you recommend further checks?
A: If we identify risks, we’ll recommend the right next step, for example, damp investigation, drainage checks or electrical testing.
ABOUT NORTH WALES
North Wales is one of the UK’s most scenic regions, offering a unique mix of coastline, mountains and historic towns. From the beaches of Rhyl and Llandudno to the dramatic landscapes of Snowdonia (Eryri), the area attracts both permanent residents and second-home buyers seeking lifestyle and character properties.
Transport routes such as the A55 provide strong links to Chester, Liverpool and the wider North West, making North Wales increasingly popular with commuters. The region’s older housing, exposure to coastal weather and prevalence of stone-built or traditionally constructed homes mean surveys are often vital to uncover damp, roof deterioration and structural movement.
