level 2+ Building survey - swindon 

Our Level 2+ Building Survey is a bespoke-to-the-property report that pinpoints and provides insight into major defects, as well as potential maintenance issues, remedies, associated timescales, and an estimated budget for repairs.

The purpose of a building survey is to investigate a property and inform you of the condition of the building, highlighting any major concerns so as to minimise risk and provide peace of mind. A Level 2+ Building Survey comments on the main structural elements of a property, but omitting comments on cosmetic items (such as age and condition of sanitary and kitchen fittings).

Because it is a bespoke survey, we can also provide advice regarding extensions or alterations (such as the removal of walls) etc. as an add-on. The high standard of service and advice that we provide can help you reduce risk and protect your Swindon property investment.

The money spent on the survey can save you thousands of pounds on your property purchase making it a very worthwhile investment. You may decide to negotiate a price reduction to address costs to repair defects, or even reconsider your purchase.

It is important to select the right level of survey for your property. Easton Bevins offers a full range of property surveys and can advise on which type of survey will best meet your needs.

We do not generally consider the sale price, rather the complexity of the building and the estimated time needed to thoroughly inspect the property, consider any defects and issue a report.

Although we cannot guarantee a reduction in sale price, most of our clients use the findings of our report in negotiations with the vendor. You may find that the reduction in the price of the property more than covers the cost of the survey. Even if the vendors are unwilling to adjust their price, you can make a more informed decision about your purchase.
