IS A LEVEL 2 HOMEBUYER SURVEY RIGHT FOR YOUR OLDHAM PROPERTY?
A RICS Level 2 Home Survey is often suitable for a conventional terrace, semi, bungalow or modern house in Oldham that appears to be in reasonable condition. The borough includes stone and brick terraces, Victorian and Edwardian housing, interwar suburbs, post-war estates and newer developments. We report on visible defects, maintenance and further investigations. A Level 3 Survey may be more suitable for older stone property, heavily altered homes, non-standard construction or buildings affected by significant movement, dampness or deterioration.

LEVEL 2 SURVEY FAQs
Q: Is Level 2 suitable for an older Oldham terrace?
A: It can be where construction is conventional and the property appears reasonably maintained. Older stone homes, significant alterations or extensive defects may require Level 3.
Q: Does the survey consider exposed upland weather?
A: Yes. We assess visible weathering to roofs, masonry, pointing, windows and rainwater goods, with recommendations based on condition.
Q: Do you cover Saddleworth villages?
A: Yes, although older cottages, converted buildings and unusual construction in rural areas may be better suited to a Level 3 Survey.
