A home is likely to be the most expensive purchase our clients will ever make. By instructing Dobson-Grey our clients receive professional, impartial and reliable advice to assist them with their decision of purchasing a property.

Dealing predominantly with Level 2 Home Surveys, either with or without valuations, the Dobson-Grey Professional Services Team are delighted to offer their services to clients across Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.

The findings documented in our Home Survey reports are both accurate and informative, providing detailed descriptions and extensive photographic evidence of any defects that have been identified along with advice and recommendations deemed necessary. In addition to our survey, we schedule a call with the purchaser shortly after our inspection of the property to discuss our initial findings and highlight any areas of concern. We find that this provides our clients with useful insight into what will be included within our report and demonstrates our commitment to providing exceptional customer service. This is just one of the reasons why we have received multiple instructions through recommendations and repeat custom from existing clients.

Level 2 Home Survey

This type of survey is suitable for most conventional properties which are in reasonable condition. The survey aims to provide our clients with professional advice to:

• make a reasoned and informed decision on whether to go ahead with buying the property
• take into account any repairs or replacements the property needs, and
• consider what further advice you should take before committing to purchasing the property

A simple ‘traffic light’ rating is used to clearly identify the condition of the property as follows:

1. Elements where no repair is currently needed.
2. Elements that require attention but are not serious or urgent
3. Elements that require urgent attention

Home Survey Level 2 with Valuation

Includes all of the features of the Level 2 Home Survey, as well as professional advice to help our clients to make an informed decision on what is a reasonable price to pay for the property.

What our clients say:

Below is a reference from a Consultant Solicitor to a mutual client regarding the RICS Level 2 Home Survey that was undertaken by Dobson-Grey:

"Your surveyor has given you some very good solid advice and one of the best reports I have actually ever read concerning a concise report of the property and the elements you need to be aware of and happy to accept."

Below is a reference from a client who instructed us to undertake Level 2 Home Surveys on two occasions:

"Everyone has been most helpful in all respects. I have no hesitation in recommending this company."

Professional valuations are vital to a healthy property/asset market and a stable economy, forming the basis of performance analysis, financing decisions, transactional or development advice. Robust practice standards form the basis of high quality valuations. RICS is the world’s leading qualification for valuation professionals and is well respected by employers and clients the world over. As a RICS registered valuer we follow the standards set out by them. We can provide valuation advice across a number of sectors to the public, private and the third sector. We provide support in the most common asset classes including land, commercial, residential and healthcare. We are not aligned with any residential Estate Agency business and therefore can assist with independent Help to Buy valuations.
