Digital RICS Level 2 Survey
Our Home Surveyor & Property Valuer Accreditation & Professional Membership
Our Home Insight Surveys are carried out by qualified surveyors who belong to the professional bodies that set UK property standards. Every report is prepared to recognised guidance and is completely independent, so you can rely on the findings when you buy, sell or value a home.
What Is a Home Insight Survey?
The Home Insight Survey is our digital-first RICS Level 2 Home Survey. The inspection itself follows the same RICS Level 2 standard as a traditional HomeBuyer Report — the difference is how the findings are presented. Instead of a static PDF, you receive an interactive online report dashboard that makes it easier to understand, search and act on the surveyor's findings.
What It Covers
- The condition of all visible and accessible parts of the building
- Traffic-light condition ratings for every element
- Defects identified with clear advice on repairs

Home Insight Survey Questions
How is the Home Insight Survey different from a standard Level 2?
The inspection itself is the same RICS Level 2 standard. The difference is the reporting format. Instead of a traditional static PDF report, you receive an interactive online report with embedded photos and videos, a searchable interface, a filterable defect list and a built-in action tracker. Many clients find this format easier to understand and act on, particularly when sharing findings with family members or getting quotes from contractors.
Can I still get a PDF version?
Yes. Every Home Insight Survey includes both the interactive online report and a downloadable PDF version. You get the best of both formats — a modern digital experience and a traditional document for your records, solicitor or mortgage lender.
How much does a Home Insight Survey cost?
Our Home Insight Survey is priced similarly to our standard RICS Level 2 Home Survey, starting from £525 ex VAT. The digital reporting platform adds no extra cost. We provide a fixed-price quote within 24 hours.
