Quick answer

What does a surveyor do, and which level of survey do you need?

A surveyor inspects a property and reports on its condition, typically £300–£1,000. RICS surveys come in three levels: Level 1 for a modern, conventional home in good order, Level 2 for most standard purchases, and Level 3 for older, altered or unusual properties. A mortgage valuation is not a survey — it is the lender protecting its own security, not you.

Surveyor terms explained — Falkirk glossary

RICS Home Survey Level 2(Level 2)
The mid-tier survey, formerly the HomeBuyer Report. It covers the visible and accessible parts of a conventional property and flags defects by traffic-light rating. Adequate for most purchases built within the last century and not substantially altered.
RICS Home Survey Level 3(Level 3)
The Building Survey — a detailed inspection appropriate for older, listed, timber-framed, or heavily altered properties, and for anything you intend to renovate. It describes causes and likely remedies rather than only flagging symptoms.
Mortgage Valuation(Valuation)
The lender’s assessment of whether the property is adequate security for the loan. It is not a survey, it is not for you, and relying on it is one of the most expensive false economies in a house purchase.
Structural Engineer’s Report(SE report)
