What a survey will and will not tell you

Old stone cottages with stone-tiled roofs and chimneys along a lane beside a brook in a village east of Bath, where a survey checks the roof and damp

A level two survey tells you about damp, movement and the roof. It does not tell you whether the boiler will last, what the neighbours are like, or whether the road floods.

Those last three matter as much and cost nothing to find out. Knock on a door. People are remarkably willing to tell you.
