Building Survey

RICS Home Survey Level 3 (formerly known as a Building Survey/Structural Survey) is the most detailed survey available, providing full details of a property’s construction and condition, and identifies a whole range of defects. It is suitable for all residential properties, and strongly recommended for those property’s which are near or over 100 years old, unusually built or run-down, if the property has been significantly altered, or you are planning a major conversion or renovation.

The RICS Level 3 survey is an investigation of the construction and condition of the building, and does not normally include a Valuation. However, a Valuation may be done in addition, for an extra fee, in most circumstances.
