RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Survey

The Smart Check Before You Hand Over Your Deposit

Most London properties look fine on a viewing. That’s the point. A Level 2 Homebuyer Survey gets past the surface — identifying defects, flagging repairs and giving you documented evidence to negotiate with or walk away from.

Clear traffic light ratings, plain-English findings and a surveyor you can actually call. If you’re buying a conventional property and want to go in with your eyes open, this is the survey you need.

What you receive:

Traffic light condition ratings across all major elements Urgent defects and repair priorities clearly identified Legal issues flagged for your solicitor Optional market valuation available

RICS Level 3 Building Survey

Know Exactly What You're Buying Before You Sign

London’s older housing stock hides problems. Subsidence, damp, structural movement, poor extensions — issues that cost tens of thousands to fix and that no mortgage valuation will ever flag. A Level 3 Building Survey uncovers them before you commit.

Every accessible area is inspected in detail.  A proper inspection by someone who knows London property.

What you receive:

In-depth report covering all accessible areas including loft and cellar. Advice on alterations, extensions and structural concerns.
Optional market valuation available

RICS Chartered Surveyors — What It Means for You

Not every surveyor is a chartered surveyor. The RICS designation is the highest professional standard in the UK property industry. It means your surveyor has passed rigorous assessments, holds verified qualifications, and is accountable to a governing body with a formal complaints process.

Somerset & Sinclair is fully RICS regulated. Every report we produce meets RICS standards, is backed by professional indemnity insurance, and is legally recognised by solicitors, mortgage lenders and HMRC. That matters when it comes to probate, lease extensions, matrimonial proceedings and mortgage applications.
