RICS Level 3 Home Survey (Previously known as Building Survey)
The RICS Home Survey Level 3 (previously known as Building Survey or Structural Survey) in very simple terms is suited for properties which are very old, very large or very complicated.
If the property you are buying has seven or more bedrooms or is a historic timber framed property from the 16th century or a Georgian townhouse then this may well be the most appropriate choice for you. RICS Level 3 Home Surveys are not carried out on flats.
Please do take advantage of our FREE no obligation surveyor telephone consultation before you decide which survey suits the property you are buying, to help us help you choose the right survey to make sure your move is the right move.
Whilst others may offer advice such as the estate agent or mortgage broker, the team here at Your Surveyors are the only ones professionally qualified to offer this advice.
Our free after report consultation service may include a conversation with you about a range of possible prices and costings for works required and will be able to give you some advice about where to go to get quotations for these works to ensure you have a full picture before you decide whether to proceed or not. Or even whether you would like to instruct us to assist with negotiating based on your survey results with our exclusive copyright service the Professional Negotitation Certificate.
