RICS Level-3 Building Survey
The most comprehensive survey — essential for older, larger, or unusual properties
What is a RICS Level-3 Building Survey?
The RICS Level-3 Building Survey is the most comprehensive survey available and provides a detailed analysis of the property's construction, condition, and any defects found. It is the right choice for older properties, larger homes, buildings that have been significantly altered, or any property where you have concerns about its condition.
Is this survey right for me?
Recommended for properties built before 1900, properties with unusual construction (timber frame, thatched roof, listed buildings), properties that have been significantly extended or altered, or any property where the buyer has specific concerns about its structural condition.
