Level 2 HomeBuyer report in London
A RICS Home Survey Level 2 is the middle of the three levels, and the one most buyers need. It suits conventional houses and flats in reasonable condition, built this century or last. London's buyers of standard properties built after 1950 pay less when they let local partners compete on the same brief.

What to know about level 2 homebuyer report
It is a visual inspection
The surveyor reports on what can be seen without damage — no lifting floorboards, no opening up walls. Problems are graded by urgency so you can see what needs attention now and what can wait.
Level 2 comes with or without a valuation
The valuation version costs more and gives a market figure and a rebuild cost for insurance. Your lender's own valuation is not the same thing and is not done for you.
Older or altered homes usually want Level 3
Anything pre-1900, timber-framed, thatched, heavily extended, or that you plan to change structurally is what Level 3 exists for.
