Case Study: Level 2 Home Survey in Childwall, Liverpool
Project Details
- Sector: Residential
- Scale: Pre-Purchase Home Survey for 1920s Semi-Detached Property
- Services: Level 2 Homebuyers Survey
ASL was instructed to carry out a Level 2 Home Survey on a two-storey, late 1920s semi-detached property in Liverpool. The client requested the survey as part of their pre-purchase checks and had no prior concerns about the building’s condition.
During our inspection, we found that the original roof covering remained in place, having exceeded its expected lifespan. While this is not uncommon for properties of this age, the roof had deteriorated significantly and was in poor condition, with signs of wear that could result in future water ingress or structural issues. The client had not anticipated roof problems and was able to use the findings in discussions with their solicitor and contractor.
Level 2 Home Surveys are ideal for properties of this type, relatively conventional in design but with potential age-related defects. Our clear and impartial reporting gives buyers the insight they need to plan ahead, avoid unexpected costs, and make confident property decisions.
