A RICS Level 3 Survey is the most comprehensive property survey available. It provides an in-depth inspection of the property’s condition, highlights serious defects, and offers detailed advice on repairs and maintenance.
A Level 3 Survey is recommended for older, larger, altered, or unusual properties, as well as homes in poor condition. It is ideal if you are planning major renovations or want a more detailed assessment before buying.
A RICS Level 3 Survey will give you advice on defects, likely causes, recommended repairs, and, where agreed, estimated repair costs and timescales.
A Level 3 survey assess the condition and structure of a property, including walls, roofs, floors, windows, drainage, and signs of defects such as damp, movement, or subsidence. The report also highlights repair priorities and potential future maintenance concerns.
A Level 3 survey is often recommended for older properties because ageing buildings can conceal structural issues, defects or maintenance concerns that may not be visible during a standard viewing. The survey provides buyers with a clearer understanding of potential risks and repair costs.
The inspection for a RICS Level 3 survey can take several hours depending on the size, age, and condition of the property. Survey reports are usually issued within a few working days after the inspection has been completed.
