Residential Surveyor Near Me

Surveys are critical if you want to value a property, maintain your home or purchase a residential building. A survey allows you to ‘see’ beyond the fixtures and fittings and assess the state of the structure itself and, as a result, gives you clear guidance about the safety of the structure and any work that should be carried out.

By searching for a residential surveyor near me, you can access the expert guidance you need when it comes to surveying a house or flat. Whether you’re planning to purchase a property or you’re already a homeowner, our residential survey services will provide all the information and peace of mind you need.

There are various types of residential services available, and the best type will depend on your situation and the specific property that’s being assessed.

• A Level 1 RICS survey (also known as a Condition Report) offers a rating of different parts of the building, but it doesn’t go into detail or provide a valuation.
• A Level 2 RICS survey is more in-depth as it includes roof spaces and cellars, as well as recommendations for further investigations and/or budget guidance for repairs and future maintenance requirements.
• A Level 3 RICS survey (sometimes called a Structural Survey) is one of the most in-depth options for residential house buyers or homeowners. As well as covering everything that’s included in a Level 2 survey, this goes a step further and identifies the risk and cause of hidden defects of areas that aren’t inspected, as well as the scope of necessary remedial works, the impact of non-repair and recommendations about priority and timescale of required repairs.

When you’re purchasing or investing in a property that’s been built relatively recently, from standard materials and appears to be in good repair, a Level 1 or Level 2 survey may be sufficient. However, if you’re purchasing an older house, a listed property or a home in need of renovations, a Level 3 survey is generally advisable.

In addition to general building and pre-acquisition surveys, we offer specialist surveys. This includes defect diagnosis and planned preventative maintenance surveys, as well as schedules of condition, contract administration, rebuilding costs assessments and licences for alteration.
