What the Level 3 Survey Includes
A thorough inspection of all accessible parts of the property, with detailed commentary and practical recommendations throughout.
Overall Opinion and Summary
The surveyor's overall assessment of the property and a clear summary of the key findings, written for the client rather than for other professionals.
Indicative Repair Costs
A schedule of estimated repair costs for all identified defects, based on current building cost indices and the surveyor's direct experience.
External Elements
Detailed inspection and commentary on roofs, walls, chimneys, windows, doors, drainage and all other external elements of the building.
Internal Elements
In-depth assessment of ceilings, walls, floors, internal joinery, roof spaces and all accessible internal areas of the property.
Services
Visual inspection of electrical, gas, water and drainage installations, with recommendations for specialist investigation where required.
Grounds and Outbuildings
Assessment of garages, permanent outbuildings, boundaries and grounds, including any issues that may affect the main building.
Legal Issues to Raise
Notes on matters to raise with your solicitor, including issues relating to planning, building regulations, rights of way or boundary disputes.
Photo Schedule
A comprehensive photographic record of building elements and key findings, clearly referenced to the written report.
Client Queries Answered
Specific questions raised by the client before or during the inspection are addressed directly within the report.
INDICATIVE REPAIR COSTS INCLUDED AS STANDARD
Unlike many surveyors, we include indicative repair costs for every defect we identify. Our surveyors draw on current building cost indices and their own on-site experience to provide costings that give you a real basis for budgeting or renegotiating the purchase price. This is one of the most practically useful things a survey report can contain, and we include it as standard on every Level 3 instruction.
