At UNEK, we provide professional RICS Home Surveys designed to give you complete confidence when buying or maintaining a property. As RICS-qualified surveyors, we follow strict professional standards and pride ourselves on delivering clear, reliable reports you can trust.
Whether you need a straightforward assessment or an in-depth investigation, our services cover both the RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Report and the RICS Level 3 Building Survey, ensuring you have the right level of detail for your property and circumstances.
RICS Level 2 (Homebuyer Report)
The RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Report is best suited for modern, well-maintained properties that appear to be in reasonable condition. It involves a detailed visual inspection of the property, using a clear traffic-light rating system to highlight issues: green for no action needed, amber for areas to monitor, and red for urgent repairs.
The report examines the property’s key elements, including its structure, roofing, damp protection, timber condition, and visible utilities. Presented in clear, jargon-free language, it helps you understand any defects and plan for maintenance without overwhelming you with unnecessary technical detail. For most standard homes built after the 1980s, this survey strikes the perfect balance between thoroughness and efficiency.
RICS Level 3 (Building Survey)
The RICS Level 3 Building Survey is our most comprehensive inspection, ideal for older, larger, or altered properties, or any building where the condition is uncertain. This survey offers a full, in-depth visual assessment of all accessible parts of the property, alongside detailed commentary on the building’s materials, structural performance, and expected lifespan.
It provides explanations of defects, outlines the associated risks, and offers practical guidance on repairs, maintenance, and potential contractor involvement. If you’re considering a property with a complex history, listed status, or visible issues — or you simply want the most detailed analysis possible — the Level 3 survey ensures you have all the information needed to make confident, informed decisions.
Our Approach
Our service is built on independence, transparency, and personal attention. As a fully RICS-regulated firm, we adhere to the highest professional and ethical standards. From the moment you book, you’ll receive regular updates and have direct access to your surveyor, ensuring a smooth and stress-free process.
We understand that time is often critical in property transactions, which is why we work to quick and reliable turnaround times — typically around 5–8 working days dependant on the level of survey and type of property. Whether you are buying a Victorian terrace, a modern flat, or a unique conversion, we have the expertise to assess properties of every type and age.
Our process is straightforward and client-focused. First, we provide you with an instant quote based on your property and chosen survey level. Once booked, we manage the entire process — from liaising with the selling agent to arranging access — while keeping you updated every step of the way. When the survey is complete, we deliver your report promptly, explaining our findings in plain language and answering any follow-up questions you may have.
