How Does a RICS Level 3 Survey Work?
Our Level 3 Survey process is thorough and methodical, conducted in accordance with RICS guidelines. We start with an on-site inspection, where certified surveyors examine structural elements such as the roof, walls, floors, and foundations.
We also assess services like plumbing, electrical systems, and heating installations to identify any discrepancies with UK safety standards. Measurements are taken to verify alignment, soundness, and the overall integrity of the building materials.
Following this comprehensive examination, a detailed report is prepared. The report includes a section on defects, which categorises issues as urgent, significant, or moderate, alongside their impact on the property's value and safety.
We also identify potential issues that might arise and provide cost estimations for recommended repairs or maintenance tasks.
