The RICS Level 2 survey is a home report that is prepared after a physical inspection of a property by an appraiser and provides buyers with more detailed information about the condition of the property compared to an appraisal report. The survey aims to give you professional advice to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the purchase of the property, consider repairs or replacements that the property needs, and consider what other advice you should follow before committing to buying the property. Our mortgage appraisals are carried out by an independent appraiser who is a qualified and registered member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. They will carry out an independent assessment of the value of your property and check for any issues that may make it inappropriate for us. When buying a home with a mortgage, many people often talk about the „mortgage survey,“ but there`s nothing like it. Lenders only require a simple appraisal and this is increasingly done by computer or as an office exercise without any inspection. Once the current social distancing restrictions are lifted, we will contact you to arrange a visit from an independent reviewer to conduct a physical assessment and provide us with an assessment report.
This follow-up review is for our information only and does not change the amount you borrowed from us. If you are conducting a physical evaluation, the appraiser will agree on an appropriate date and time to view your property. It must be in daylight during normal working hours. By providing your email address, you agree that we may send you emails with news, information and offers about the products and services offered by Legal & General Financial Advice. We will never share your information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. You should consider a home survey if you are buying a property that is not a new build before completing the purchase. It is important to know all the issues (big or small) before finalizing, because once you have signed the dotted line and the property legally belongs to you, it is your responsibility to resolve the issues. When it comes to home investigations, warned really means armed. Personal data collected from you will be shared with fraud prevention authorities in order to prevent fraud and money laundering and to verify your identity. If fraud is detected, you may be denied certain services, finances or employment. For more information on how your data is used by us and these fraud prevention agencies, as well as your privacy rights, please see legalandgeneral.com/cifas I`ve already received a notice, so I don`t need a survey! Prior to the assessment, you will be contacted and asked a few questions based on government guidance on COVID-19 restrictions. If the appraiser cannot safely perform the appraiser, or if you do not want the appraiser to visit your property, you may be offered an office appraisal.

Fact: An appraisal tells you the value of the property, but a survey can highlight issues with the property as well as many other important information. We have two options for performing a mortgage appraisal: Since an office appraisal does not provide as much information as a surveyor visiting your property, we can only use 95% of the office appraisal to calculate how much we can lend you. As there will be no physical appraisal of your property, we will ask you during the application process to confirm that your property is structurally sound, in reasonable condition and that you are not aware of any issues that could affect the assessment.
