Natasha Palczuk Having undertaken the Sava Diploma, e.surv’s Conversion Programme was the best next step. There was a good mix of both classroom and online training which helped to further my knowledge and understanding of the profession.

Whether you’re buying a house, thinking of buying a house or just keen to understand more about the home buying process, you’re in the right place. We’ve been helping homebuyers for over 30 years and have national coverage with local experts.

The HomePlus Digital Survey is a fully interactive, digital report, delivered directly to, and accessible on, your device. It offers much more than the standard Level 2:

Defects and areas of concern are given a traffic light rating – so you can quickly review the “Red Lights”.

It includes Energy Saving Trust information about the property’s probable energy costs, carbon emissions, proposed energy improvements and their potential savings.

It also includes local area information, including schools, crime rates and broadband facilities.

There are links to Checkatrade tradespeople, so you can obtain quotes for any repair or maintenance work.

As the report is digital, you get instant access, and can move through the information more easily. You can zoom in on images, so you can see what the surveyor is reporting.

You access the HomePlus Home Survey online, so it is delivered quickly and directly. And when it is available, your surveyor will book a call with you to talk you through the main items and discuss any concerns.

The value is far greater than the cost. The cost of an RICS Level 2 Home Survey varies depending on factors such as size and value of the property being surveyed. However, typically the cost ranges from £400 – £800+. It’s important to remember that this cost is an investment in your future. By having all available information about your potential new home before committing to purchasing it, you can make sure you don’t end up with costly surprises down the line.

As a digital offering, the HomePlus digital survey costs less than the Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 surveys.

The RICS Level 1 was formerly known as a condition report. It provides a basic inspection and report into the condition of a property. It is not as indepth as a Level 2 or Level 3.

Your RICS surveyor will NOT give their professional opinion or advice on issues, repairs or maintenance, as they would for higher level surveys. They will only report on the condition.

This is a paper-based/pdf report, and is not digitally interactive, unlike a HomePlus survey.

The RICS Level 3 Home Survey was formerly known as a Building Survey. It does NOT include a valuation, but does provide a more comprehensive report, going into more detail. If required, the Level 3 may test services (plumbing, electrics, heating) and give an indication into the cost of repair work.

If your property is particularly old, or neglected, or significantly altered or extended, you may need a RICS Level 3 report – the Level 2 may not be adequate.

The Level 3 is a paper-based/pdf, and not a digitally interactive report.

We want to help our people to be the best version they can through a supportive culture, access to personal development and continuous improvement of our practices. If you'd like to be part of that apply now.
