The Level 2 HomeBuyer Report is a clear, traffic-light condition survey suited to conventional properties in reasonable condition, typically post-1930s houses and flats built using standard construction. It is a popular choice for buyers purchasing modern family homes on Stratford's newer residential estates, post-war semis and well-maintained inter-war properties. The report includes a drone roof inspection where appropriate and weather permits, clear photographs and a follow-up call with your surveyor.
About RICS Level 2 SurveysRICS Level 3 Building Surveys in Stratford-upon-Avon
The Level 3 Building Survey provides a more detailed assessment of construction, materials and defects. Stratford-upon-Avon has a rich stock of older and period residential property, Georgian and Victorian townhouses, older cottages, listed buildings and homes that have been extended or significantly altered over many decades. For these properties, a Level 3 gives buyers the most thorough picture of condition, construction and any issues that may need attention. The correct survey level always depends on the individual building, not age alone, if you are unsure, call us and we will advise you.
About RICS Level 3 SurveysSurveying property in Stratford-upon-Avon
Stratford-upon-Avon is one of Warwickshire's most distinctive residential markets. The town centre and its immediate surroundings contain a significant concentration of older and historic property, Georgian and Victorian terraces and townhouses, older cottages, properties within conservation areas and a number of listed buildings. Many of these homes have been altered, extended or adapted over time, which can introduce complexities that a thorough survey is well placed to identify.
Beyond the historic core, Stratford has a broad range of inter-war and post-war housing, semi-detached and detached family homes, bungalows and more recent residential development on the town's outskirts. The mix means that the right survey level varies considerably from one property to the next, and it is worth taking advice before deciding.
Our surveyors cover Stratford-upon-Avon town and the surrounding South Warwickshire area, including Wellesbourne, Alcester, Bidford-on-Avon, Henley-in-Arden and the villages and rural communities in between.

Should I choose a Level 2 or Level 3 Survey for my Stratford property?
The right survey depends on the individual property, not its age alone. A Level 2 is generally suited to modern, conventional homes in reasonable condition. A Level 3 Building Survey is typically the better choice for older properties, listed buildings, homes within conservation areas, significantly altered or extended properties, and any building where you want a more detailed assessment of condition and construction. Stratford has a significant stock of period and historic property where a Level 3 is often advisable, call us if you are unsure.
Is a drone roof inspection included?
A drone roof inspection is included where appropriate and weather permits. It allows the surveyor to assess roof coverings, chimney stacks and guttering that may be difficult to inspect from the ground, at no extra cost.
