Choosing the Right Survey for Your Move

We specialise in RICS-regulated surveys tailored to the specific age and condition of your potential property. We don't just list defects; we explain what they mean for you and your budget.

RICS Level 2 Surveys

Ideal for conventional properties in reasonable condition. This report focuses on the main elements of the building, providing an assessment of defects and advice on ongoing maintenance. When combined with a valuation, this is the comprehensive "Homebuyers Report" many buyers rely on.

RICS Level 3 Surveys

For older, unique, or extensively modified buildings, our Level 3 Building Survey is essential. This is a deep dive into the property’s construction and materials. We identify identifiable risks, hidden defects, and provide an outline of necessary remedial work, including the likely consequences of inaction.
