BUILDING SURVEY (Level 3)

This service is delivered in accordance with the Home Survey standard (1st edition) RICS professional statement and the RPSA Survey Inspection and Reporting Standards. It is equivalent to survey Level 3 in accordance with your personal requirements and specific instructions.

This level of service is for you if you are seeking a professional opinion based on a detailed assessment of the property.

The service consists of a detailed visual inspection of the building, its services and the grounds and is more extensive than a survey level two. Concealed areas normally opened or used by the occupiers are inspected if it is safe to do so (typical examples include roof spaces, basements and cellars). Although the services are not tested, they are observed in normal operation – in other words, they are switched on or off and/or operated where the occupier has given permission and it is safe to do so.

The report objectively describes the form of construction and materials used for different parts of the property. It describes the condition and provides an assessment of the relative importance of the defects/problems.

Additionally, it:

• describes the identifiable risk of potential or hidden defects in areas not inspected
• proposes the most probable cause(s) of the defects based on the inspection
• outlines the likely scope of any appropriate remedial work and explain the likely consequences of non-repair
• make general recommendations in respect of the priority and likely timescale for necessary work.

A survey level three report aims to provide the you with all the information you need to make a decision. This level of service will suit any domestic residential property in any condition.
