Building Surveys

Building Surveys, classified by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors as a Level 3 Report, are the most in depth report that we provide. Building Surveys are suited to all types of residential property purchase. These reports can usually be tailored to the clients’ individual requirements. These reports cover all external and internal elements of the proposed purchase, their condition and advice on future maintenance. Also ideal if you are planning to renovate or convert a property. A valuation can be included as an agreed extra.

We set out below a table which summarises the different types of service that can be obtained prior or after purchase
