IS A LEVEL 2 HOMEBUYER SURVEY RIGHT FOR YOUR ROCHDALE PROPERTY?

A RICS Level 2 Home Survey is often suitable for a conventional terrace, semi, bungalow or modern house in Rochdale that appears to be in reasonable condition. Local housing includes stone and brick terraces, Victorian villas, interwar suburbs, post-war estates and newer developments. We identify visible defects and explain maintenance priorities before exchange. A Level 3 Survey may be preferable for older stone buildings, heavily altered properties, unusual construction or homes affected by significant dampness, movement or deterioration.
