RICS Level 3 Survey

• Older properties (pre-1900)
• Homes with visible defects
• Renovation or restoration projects
• Unusual, extended or listed buildings

This type of level 3 home survey involves a detailed visual inspection of all accessible areas and an in-depth report explaining the construction, condition, and any defects found. Unlike a Level 2 report, it goes further, offering repair advice, identifying possible hidden issues and highlighting potential future problems..

• Roof structures, walls, ceilings, floors and chimneys
• Basements, cellars, roof voids, sub-floor spaces
• Windows, doors, outbuildings, boundary walls and fences
• Roofs, chimneys, and other hard-to-reach areas, using an aerial drone

Our surveyors use a wide range of equipment to inspect the property thoroughly and safely. If safe and agreed in advance, we may move light furniture or lift loose floor coverings.

Condition Ratings & Repair Advice

We use the RICS traffic light system to rate each part of the property:

We don’t just flag the issues, we explain the consequences of not acting, and suggest possible repair approaches and timelines.
