RICS Level 3 Building Surveys
Comprehensive Structural Insight for Informed Property Buyers
Our RICS Level 3 Building Surveys provide a detailed and professional assessment of a property’s construction, structure and overall condition, making them ideal for older buildings, period properties, and homes that have been extended or altered.
We identify visible defects, explain the likely causes and assess the potential implications for the building. Clear, practical recommendations are provided for repairs or further specialist investigations where required. Each report includes high-quality photographs, a clear condition rating system, guidance on likely repair costs, and a complimentary drone survey to assess roofs and other high-level elements safely and effectively.
Our RICS Level 3 Building Survey reports are written in plain English and tailored to the specific property, helping you fully understand the condition of the building and plan future maintenance with confidence before you commit to purchase.

Very very good. Good Comms, structured easy to understand report, quick to book. The drone survey was a real bonus that highlighted some issues. Property recently refurbished but still some issues we were not aware so worth the money we spent.
