A Local Insight
We’ve been busy across Filey, Bridlington and Scarborough recently, carrying out Level 2 Homebuyer Surveys for people making one of life’s biggest investments - buying a home.
It’s always a privilege to be part of that journey. A home isn’t just bricks and mortar; it’s security, comfort, and the start of a new chapter. That’s why we put so much care into every inspection. Our goal isn’t just to find issues, but to give buyers reassurance that they are making well-informed decisions.
Whether it’s a seafront flat in Scarborough or a character cottage in Bridlington, we want our clients to feel completely assured before they exchange contracts.
Common Issues We’ve Found in Local Properties
Every area has its quirks, and the Yorkshire coast is no exception. Over the past few months, we’ve seen:
Roof wear and slipped tiles due to the coastal weather
Signs of damp or condensation, especially in older brickwork
Timber decay in areas exposed to sea air
Outdated electrics or plumbing in older homes
A Level 2 Homebuyer Survey highlight these issues early. This often saves buyers from costly surprises after moving in.
How We Help Homebuyers Feel Confident
We know the buying process can be stressful, especially if it’s your first time. That’s why our reports are written in plain English, with clear photos, easy-to-read traffic light ratings, and straightforward recommendations.
Our clients often tell us that having an independent surveyor makes the whole process less daunting. One recent buyer said:
“Richard at Skyline Property Survey went above and beyond! Clear, caring, and incredibly professional. He made the whole process stress-free. I’d recommend him to anyone and will definitely use him again.”
That’s exactly what we aim for: clarity, calm, and confidence.
Choosing the Right Survey for You
While many local buyers choose a Level 2 Homebuyer Survey, it’s not the only option. Depending on the property, you might also consider:
Level 1 Condition Report - for newer homes or those in good condition.
Buy-to-Let Survey - for landlords and investors.
Drone Roof Survey - ideal for safely inspecting hard-to-reach roofs or chimneys.
Snagging Survey – ensuring your newly built home has no unwanted hidden surprises.
If you’re unsure which survey is right, we’re always happy to advise. Please feel free to get in touch.
