What is a building survey?
Compared to our level 2 home buyer survey, level 3 building surveys take a deeper dive into the property you are looking to purchase. As well as a detailed photographic inventory, we’ll also include condition descriptions for each element of the property, urgent repair recommendations and possible cost implications.
Your building survey report will contain:
-
Detailed notes about construction methods and materials
-
Technical assessments of any defects found with advice on further action required
-
Details of less important repairs and design issues
-
Information about brickwork and roof condition
-
Information about any asbestos used in construction or renovations
-
Details of any damp or rot found, including the state of any damp proofing
-
Information about any structural defects found

Level 3 surveys are recommended for properties that:​
-
Are over 100 years old
-
Are historic or listed buildings
-
Have had major refurbishments or restructuring works

“Eric was recommended to me by an estate agent. I have to say he was very prompt with carrying out the survey and was happy to speak to me afterwards about it and explain anything I was unsure of.”
