RICS Home Survey · Building Survey
RICS Level 3Building Survey.
The most comprehensive level of RICS Home Survey, particularly appropriate for older, altered, unusual or potentially defective properties.
A building survey gives you the fullest picture available under the RICS Home Survey Standard — how the property is built, what is wrong with it, why, and what the options are.
What a Level 3 survey covers
The report describes the construction and materials, identifies defects and their likely causes, explains their significance and outlines options for repair. The inspection is the most thorough of the three levels.
Who it is suitable for
Level 3 is generally recommended for older properties, larger or unusual buildings, properties that have been extended or significantly altered, buildings in poor condition, and where the buyer intends to carry out refurbishment or extension.
Older Liverpool property
Much of Liverpool's most desirable housing is Victorian or Edwardian. Solid walls, original roofs, historic alterations and ageing services all raise questions that a building survey is designed to answer.
