​
• A list of potential problems identified by the surveyor.
​

• Issues requiring further investigation to prevent serious damage or safety risks.
​
• Legal considerations that should be addressed before completing your purchase.
​

Choose a Building Survey if you’re dealing with a large, older, or run-down property, an unusual or altered building, or planning major works. While it costs more than other reports, it provides a highly detailed assessment of the property’s structure and fabric.
In addition to the Level 2 Report, this survey includes:
​
• A more extensive inspection covering a wider range of issues.
​
• A detailed analysis of visible defects and potential hidden problems.
​
• An overview of repair options and the risks of inaction.
​
• Expert guidance for legal advisers, including serious risks and hazardous conditions.
​
We consistently receive praise for the thoroughness and detail of our Level 3 surveys, which typically span 90 to over 100 pages. These comprehensive reports include annotated photographs that highlight defects and other important details, ensuring you receive a complete and clear assessment of the property.

RICS Valuation
​
Emailed to you within 24 hours
A Residential Property Valuation Report can be prepared for various purposes. If you need a valuation for Shared Ownership, Shared Equity, Help to Buy, or Right to Buy, please get in touch. For any other type of valuation, feel free to call us to discuss your requirements.
Our Valuation Report determines the property’s market value and includes a reinstatement cost, which calculates the expense of rebuilding the property—this figure may be required by your insurer.
Please note: A Valuation Survey is NOT a Condition Survey.
