Level 2+ Building Survey – Leamington Spa

The purpose of a building survey is to investigate a property and inform you of the condition of the building, highlighting any major concerns so as to minimise risk and provide peace of mind.

Our Level 2+ Building Survey (also known as a Major Defects Building Survey) is a bespoke-to-the-property report. It highlights and provides insight into major defects, as well as potential maintenance issues, remedies, associated timescales, and an estimated budget for repairs.

A Level 2+ Building Survey report comments on the main structural elements of a property, but not cosmetic items such as age and condition of sanitary and kitchen fittings.

Because it is a bespoke survey, it can be adapted to include advice relating to extensions or alterations which can be very useful.

The high standard of service and advice that we provide can help you reduce risk and protect your Leamington Spa property investment. You may be able to negotiate a price reduction to address costs to repair defects, or decide to reconsider your purchase.

We do not generally consider the sale price, rather the complexity of the building and the estimated time needed to thoroughly inspect the property, consider any defects and issue a report.

Although we cannot guarantee a reduction in sale price, most of our clients use the findings of our report in negotiations with the vendor. You may find that the reduction in the price of the property more than covers the cost of the survey. Even if the vendors are unwilling to adjust their price, you can make a more informed decision about your purchase.

Royal Leamington Spa has been described as a quieter version of Bath. It has a bustling shopping centre, exquisite restaurants, excellent schools, and very good transport connections, making it attractive to both young and old alike.

There is an interesting mix of house styles available, ranging from traditional Georgian and Victorian, to more modern options. There are also some stunning rural properties located in and around surrounding villages.

The popularity of Leamington is reflected in its house prices, which are higher than some other towns in the area. In 2024 semi-detached properties were selling for an average price of £381,401 while rural retreats in the surrounding villages can command a far higher price.
