Our RICS certified surveyors carry out RICS Level 3 Building Surveys to give you detailed insight into structural integrity, defects, and maintenance requirements.
Level 3 Surveys
What is a Level 3 Survey?
A Level 3 survey is the most thorough type of property survey, ideal for older, unusual, or altered buildings. Often referred to as a building survey, it examines the property in detail and reports on defects, structural concerns, and recommendations for repairs or further investigations.
A building surveyor prepares a detailed report that covers all visible and accessible parts of the property, providing guidance and clarity for complex or high-value homes.
When and Why Is a Level 3 Survey Suitable?
A Level 3 survey is suitable for:
- Older properties or those with historical or unusual construction
- Properties that have been heavily altered or extended
- Buildings with visible structural defects or concerns
- High-value properties or complex investments
A Level 3 survey provides a thorough understanding of the property’s condition, helping you make informed buying, renovation, or investment decisions.
What Does a Level 3 Building Survey Include?
A RICS Level 3 Building Survey typically includes:
- Detailed inspection of all accessible parts of the property
- Identification of defects, issues and risks
- Advice on repairs, maintenance, and ongoing management
- Recommendations for further investigations if needed
- Commentary on building condition, materials, and construction
Reports are written in plain English, making complex technical findings understandable and actionable.
How does it work?
One of our RICS-certified building surveyors will arrange a convenient time to inspect the property. The survey is more detailed than a Level 2, covering all accessible areas, both internal and external.
After the inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive Level 3 building survey report, including detailed analysis, recommendations, and guidance for any defects. We are always happy to talk through the findings to help you understand the implications.
