An Easton Bevins Level 2+ Building Survey (also known as a Major Defects Building Survey) sits between a RICS Home Survey – Level 2 and a RICS Home Survey – Level 3.
It is suitable for properties of all ages, but is particularly relevant for older buildings or larger buildings with complex requirements.
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. It is our most popular survey – an estimated 70% of clients select this option.
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.

The in-depth report from a Level 2+ Building Survey allows you to make a better-informed decision on how to proceed when purchasing any house, especially one with complex requirements.

Contact us by phone or email and provide details of the property you are looking to purchase. Confirm your requirements and any specific concerns you might have. We will look at the property online and provide you with a quote.
If you are happy with the quote, we will arrange with the estate agent for access to carry out the survey and let you know once a date has been confirmed.
You can rest assured of our utmost attention to your instruction and requirements, and we can give you a quick overview of results on the phone following the inspection.
Your report will be issued within 5-7 working days following the inspection and sent by email. A printed copy is also available on request.
Our reports are entirely tailored to your requirements and the property that we inspect. Where we find issues, we provide practical advice in plain English. Furthermore, we are happy to discuss the findings with you if required.
The actual cost of a Level 2+ Building Survey will depend on a number of factors as we quote each property on its own merits after viewing it online.
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 rest assured that you will be making a better-informed decision about your purchase.
