Fully certified RICS Chartered Surveyors
Are you in the process of buying a property?
If you are looking to move home, you’re a first time buyer or you are buying an investment property, you will need to ensure you know what condition the property is in before you complete the purchase. An RICS Survey Level 2 is recommended for any property built from the 1850s onwards.
With an RICS Survey Level 2 from Mike Kidder Associates, you can get a whole view of the property, outbuildings, and grounds. The structural condition of the building will be checked and any alterations that have been made to the property by the vendors. We also check, where possible, for any approvals for Building Regulations that have or have not been obtained for any alterations made to a property.
Any findings in the report can be discussed with Mike, if needed, when you have read through the report. We are always happy to put any issues into context so that you are aware of any issues that need attention before you commit to the purchase.
What does this level of report look at?
-
Defects with the structure and building materials
-
Visual problems with services such as heating, electrics, gas, water and drainage
-
Legal matters that may have a direct impact on the overall valuation
-
Building alterations that have been carried out
-
The condition of any boundaries at and around the property
We provide detailed and invaluable property information
The information contained in our report is not just useful for assessing the overall condition of a property, it also includes a market valuation, as well as a building reinstatement value, which details how much a property would cost to rebuild for insurance purposes in the event of it being damaged.
With our report, you can make a safe and well-informed decision on whether the property is right for you to purchase, or to make reasonable counter-offers, and to understand what works may be required to deal with any issues raised and bring the building back to a good condition.
