RICS Home Surveys
Cyd Innovation is regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)
Buying a property is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. A professional RICS home survey gives you the confidence to move forward, highlighting any structural concerns before you commit.
At Cyd Innovation, our RICS surveyors carry out Level 2 and Level 3 RICS Surveys to assess the property condition and provide clear, practical advice. Whether you’re purchasing your first home or investing in a complex project, we help you make informed decisions with less risk.
What is a RICS Home Survey?
A RICS Home Survey provides a detailed property condition report on a residential property. It helps you understand potential problems and future costs, giving you the facts you need before signing contracts or negotiating price.
We offer both the RICS Homebuyers Survey (also known as a Home Buyers Report) and the Level 3 RICS Building Survey, depending on the type, age and condition of the property.
What’s the Difference Between a Level 2 and Level 3 RICS Survey?
RICS Level 2
Home Survey
A Level 2 Survey (or Home Buyers Report) is recommended for conventional, modern properties in reasonable condition.
This visual property inspection identifies urgent issues, defects and maintenance concerns that may affect the property’s value or safety. This type of Homebuyers Report is designed to give peace of mind to buyers looking for clear, factual insight without the need for extensive structural analysis.
Best suited for:
- Newer properties
- Homes with no significant alterations
- Buyers looking for a clear, concise RICS Valuation
RICS Level 3
Home Survey
A Level 3 Survey is ideal for larger, older or more complex properties, including homes with unusual layouts, visible defects or planned renovations.
It involves a more detailed inspection of the building’s structure, condition, and materials, along with expert guidance on necessary repairs, ongoing maintenance, and associated costs. This comprehensive report supports informed long-term planning and effective budget management.
Best suited for:
- Older or period properties
- Renovation projects
- Homes with visible damage or extensive alterations
