IS A LEVEL 2 HOMEBUYER SURVEY RIGHT FOR YOUR PRESTON PROPERTY?
A RICS Level 2 Home Survey is often suitable if you are buying a conventional property in Preston, such as a modern home, a typical semi, or a purpose-built flat in generally reasonable condition. With strong rail links from Preston station and easy access to the M6 and M55, the city has a wide mix of traditional housing and newer development, where a Level 2 survey is ideal for highlighting visible defects. If you are purchasing an older terrace or a home that has been significantly altered, a more detailed inspection may be advisable.

ABOUT PRESTON
Preston has a broad residential mix, from Victorian terraces and interwar suburbs to post-war estates, bungalows, apartments and modern family housing. Common points for buyers to consider include ageing roof coverings and rainwater goods, dampness to older walls, ventilation to suspended timber floors and the quality of later extensions or replacement openings.
A Level 2 Home Survey provides a proportionate inspection for conventional property where extensive structural alteration or serious disrepair is not evident. Older, heavily remodelled or unusually constructed homes may justify a Level 3 Building Survey instead.
