What to expect

A chartered surveyor walks round inside and out, then writes a report on the condition, rating issues by how urgent they are. Level 3 goes into much more detail than Level 2.

The visit is 2 to 6 hours. The report usually follows within a week.

Questions

The things people ask.

Level 2 or Level 3?

Level 2 suits most modern homes in decent condition. Level 3 is better for older, bigger or altered homes.

Is it the same as the mortgage valuation?

No. The lender's valuation is for them. A survey is for you.

Can I call the surveyor after?

Most are happy to talk it through.
