Typically, the RICS Home Survey level 2 (Homebuyer report) inspection will involve a full external and internal inspection including use of a remote camera for hidden areas, an inspection of the roof void and tests for dampness. Services will be commented upon but not tested and drain manhole covers will be lifted. Outbuildings and grounds will also be commented upon.
