Home Buyer Survey: know what you're buying before you commit.
A Home Buyer Survey (Level 2) is an independent inspection of a conventional home in reasonable condition. It uses traffic-light condition ratings to flag visible defects such as damp, cracking and roof wear, usually takes 90 minutes to three hours on site, and the report typically arrives within 48 hours.

Who is this survey suitable for?
A property can look well presented while still carrying hidden repair risk. A Home Buyer / Condition Survey helps you identify important concerns before you are financially committed.
First-time buyers
Landlords and Investors
Speak to National building consultants before you commit to buying, leasing or renovating, so you understand the property's condition, risks and repair priorities first.
