Level 1 Home Buyers Survey Widnes

What is a Level 1 Home Survey?

Our Level 1 Home Buyers Survey or Condition Report in Widnes are best suited for home buyers or home owners, looking to assess a property’s condition. We share a fundamental review, pinpointing visible, significant concerns without extensive analysis, ideal for a quick, budget-friendly check.

Being the more basic of the 3 survey types, a Level 1 survey is best suited for more modern homes in good condition, rather than older, more complex, or neglected properties.

User-Friendly Traffic Light Reports

ASL Chartered Surveyors and Valuers’ homeowner reports are always easy to understand. Our traffic light system highlights the condition of various parts of the property.

Condition Rating 1 (Green)

No repair is currently needed. The property must be maintained in the normal way.

Condition Rating 2 (Amber)

Defects that need repairing or replacing but not considered serious or urgent.

Condition Rating 3 (Red)

Urgent repairs or replacement are needed now. Failure to deal with them may cause problems to other parts of the property or cause a safety hazard.

What is a Level 2 Home Survey?

Hear From Our Customers

I got ASL to provide a valuation on a property I was purchasing and following their advice I was made aware of a number of repairs which resulted in a lower valuation than the agreed purchase price. I was able to negotiate a new purchase price saving £12,000. The service was quick, efficient and friendly.

Cannot fault the service received from Nick at ASL Surveyors. He ensured that the whole process was quick, efficient and stress free. I had my report back within a few days so I honestly couldn’t recommend him and this company enough. Thank you!!

I used ASL for my recent home purchase. Complete transparency and efficient communication was achieved throughout. I received my full report in a timely fashion and couldn’t recommend the company more to anyone looking to use their services.

We recently agreed a private sale on a bungalow in Gateacre, as there was no agent involved, we were advised to at least get a Home Survey. Gabriella arranged this quickly and we received the report a couple of days after the survey was done. It was really detailed but explained perfectly and the scoring system allowed us to understand it better. We had a couple of questions which James answered on a phone call a few days after. Excellent service throughout, thanks to all involved.

As a firm we highly recommend ASL Chartered Surveyors, rely on their service and we will continue to do so in the future. We have used ASL Chartered Surveyors for our housing disrepair clientele and they always deliver in accordance with the protocol. We are confident in the service ASL Chartered Surveyors provides, and we have always found them to be reliable, approachable and professional – they never hesitate to assist us and indeed our clients with any queries we may have collectively throughout the process.

I can’t fault the service we received and have had a really positive experience with the company. The guys carried out an extensive search on our property and provided a thorough report. On moving in we noticed a couple of issues that we wanted some more information on and contacted them to advise. Mal and Danny came straight out to do another check and were extremely friendly and helpful and gave us some useful tips on how to solve the issues. The service has been very professional and they are clearly a very reputable company to make a second visit and reassure us.
