Surveys explained

RICS Survey Explained


Survey Levels explained
The  Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors  (RICS) are the UK's governing body promoting and enforcing the highest professional qualifications and standards in the development and management of land, real estate, construction and infrastructure, including building surveyors.

RICS  surveyors offer 3 levels of Residential Building survey; Level 1 being the basic and Level 3 the full building survey. The level best-suited to your property will be dictated by a number of factors and these are explained by hitting the green button above.

My reports follow the format and content as required by the RICS Level 3  Building Survey, but expands to provide additional commentary on  specification, life expectancy and design parameters around the key building elements. This provides  a clear picture of the technical  risks and potential liabilities being adopted as part of any purchase.

Surveys are only undertaken by myself and I will always be reporting to you personally. I encourage a telephone conversation immediately after my inspection to discuss any significant findings, or to make recommendations for further investigations.
