Level 2+ Building Survey – Solihull

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 is a bespoke-to-the-property report that 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 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.

It is important to select the right level of survey for your property. Easton Bevins offers a full range of property surveys and can advise on which type of survey will best meet your needs.

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.
