The RICS Level 2 Home Survey can be provided with or without a Market Valuation. Reports which include a Market Valuation will also include an Insurance Reinstatement valuation. The inspection comprises of a visual inspection of all accessible elements of the property internally and externally from ground level, with the aid of a surveyor’s standard equipment.
The report is provided in the standard RICS report format, using the traffic light system of condition ratings. Defects are identified together with recommendations for further investigation where required. Further advice is also provided together with recommendations on future maintenance.
RICS Level 3 Home Survey
The RICS Level Home Survey, also often referred to a full Building Survey, is usually provided on pre Victorian properties, or properties which are of non-traditional construction, or have been substantially extended and altered. If you are purchasing a property and wish to undertake substantial changes, a Level 3 Home Survey is recommended. Being the most detailed type of survey report, Lantic Surveyors often provide the Level 3 Home Survey for properties of extensive size or historic / Listed Buildings. The report provides a more detailed and in - depth level of inspection compared to the Level 2 Home Survey.

Schedules of Condition and Dilapidations
Schedules of condition are typically provided when entering into a new lease or assignment of an existing lease. The document provides a record of the properties condition at the outset, and can reduce your liability for maintenance and provide a valuable document when dealing with dilapidations. Under a business lease you may be liable for full repairing and insuring terms, and therefore it is strongly recommended you take advice from a Chartered Surveyor prior to entering into a new tenancy.
Schedules of dilapidations are usually provided by the landlord at either the end of the of the lease where the tenant is vacating or by way of an interim schedule of dilapidations when there has been failure of the tenant to repair the property. Lantic Surveyors can provide schedule of conditions and dilapidations.
All Fees subject to property type and location.
