🔒 No obligationRICS regulated
A popular choice for buyers purchasing a conventional property in reasonable condition, the RICS Home Survey Level 2 is what many people mean when they ask for a homebuyer survey. Carried out by an RICS qualified surveyor in accordance with the RICS Home Survey Standard, it gives you a clear picture of the property's condition before you commit to the purchase.

A Level 2 survey is a visual inspection of the accessible parts of a conventional property in reasonable condition, with traffic-light condition ratings and advice on repairs and maintenance. A Level 3 survey is more thorough and analytical. It looks at roof spaces, cellars and services in greater detail where accessible and explains the likely causes and implications of defects, with repair options. Older, altered, listed or unusual properties usually warrant a Level 3.
The inspection typically takes a couple of hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. Your report will usually be issued within five full working days, starting from the first working day after the inspection. Once you have received it, you can request a call with your surveyor to discuss any questions or concerns.
No. A mortgage valuation is carried out for the lender to confirm the property is adequate security for the loan; it is not a survey of condition. A Level 2 survey is for you, the buyer, and reports on the condition of the property.
Fees are based on the value, size and type of the property, which is why our online quote asks for an approximate value band and the number of bedrooms. You get an instant figure with no obligation.
We liaise with the estate agent or seller to arrange access at a convenient time, so there is nothing for you to organise.
We work across Surrey, Kent, Sussex, London and the wider South East, operating from our offices in Oxted, Hove and London. If you are just outside that, ask us; we can often help.

Fabulous service from Chris. We have used Huxley surveyors twice and would recommend without doubt. The service was professional, informed and really efficient. Following a survey, Chris offered follow- up calls to help with anything that wasn’t clear. A fantastic service.
A first rate service. Simon the Surveyor was excellent, his report was very informative and his help and advice over the phone following the visit was first rate. I highly recommend.
Jamie Carter was very thorough and helpful, and responded patiently and promptly to all my queries.
