Level 2 Home Buyer Survey
A Level 2 RICS Survey, formerly known as a Home Buyer Survey or Report, is a detailed inspection conducted by a qualified surveyor who is a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). This survey provides a comprehensive inspection of your property's condition, followed by a detailed report, highlighting any issues that could affect the property and your enjoyment of it.
Getting a survey isn't just about the property — it's about protecting you. It's one of life's biggest purchases and we recognise that it can be a stressful and worrying process. Opting for a Level 2 Survey gives an unbiased, expert eye over the whole property and helps you make an informed purchase decision, ensuring your investment is secure and giving you peace of mind.
A Level 2 Survey is not to be confused with the mortgage valuation (sometimes referred to as a 'mortgage survey') which only serves to protect the lender. Here at Chichester Surveyors you are our priority and we are confident that we can partner with you to ensure that moving day is just the first of many happy days in your new home!
Single Defect Inspections
Chichester Surveyors offers targeted defect inspections for clients experiencing specific issues. This could be damp, mould, cracks or any other concern. Our expert surveyors will work with you to pinpoint the cause of the problem and provide sensible, jargon-free and, most importantly, actionable recommendations to resolve it efficiently.
Landlords, tenants and managing agents! We can help you to resolve those niggling issues that can lead to bigger problems down the road. Black mould and not sure if it's a problem with lack of ventilation or with the property itself? Let us take a look. Our surveyors have direct experience in dealing with landlords, tenants, freeholders, leaseholders and agents. We understand the complexities surrounding those relationships and how important it is to get it right.

Reinstatement Cost Assessments
Also known as 'Rebuild Valuations,' a reinstatement cost assessment is a careful calculation undertaken following a measured survey which produces a figure for how much it would cost you to rebuild your property from scratch. Why would you need to know this? These figures are used for building insurance purposes and an accurate figure will ensure your property is adequately insured.
The RICS and most insurance providers recommend a full reinstatement cost assessment is undertaken every three years with an adjustment made annually as necessary.
Whether you are a landlord, owner-occupier or freeholder of a block of flats we are confident that we can help ensure you are a properly protected in the event of an insured event occurring.
Party Wall Matters
Never heard of the Party Wall Act? You're not alone!
As party wall surveyors, we can help. Whether you are a 'Building Owner' planning some works and need to notify your neighbours (or 'Adjoining Owners') or if you have received notices and not sure what they mean we can providing expert advice.
We recognise that protecting and managing neighbourly relations is important and we offer a sensitive but knowledgeable, efficient and friendly service.
Our surveyors are members of the Pyramus and Thisbe Society, an organisation that holds the standard for surveyors practising in party wall matters. We take our responsibility to the Act seriously and we will use that to ensure we offer you the highest standards as your Party Wall Surveyors.
Pre-Sale Seller's Surveys
Selling your property? We can support you by providing a survey report specifically designed to give you a full understanding of the condition of your home prior to placing it on the market. This gives you all the information you need to help you market your property appropriately whilst also giving you insight into any potential issues (or haggling points) that may be raised by a buyer. We will work with you to prepare your property for sale to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
We know it can be nerve-wracking having a surveyor inspect your home and then wait to hear whether any issues were raised. This approach puts you on an equal footing and gives you the information you need to drive your sale forward efficiently. A pre-sale seller's survey helps reduce the likelihood of a sale falling through due to issues coming to light at the last minute and saves you money by giving you important information at the outset.
