How can we help you

Level​ 1 Survey

Level 1 survey reports are concise and offer the lowest level of detail. However, we do not provide this service as we have had very little demand.

Level 2 Survey (previously referred to as a HomeBuyers report)

Please note – a standard level 2 survey does not come with a valuation. If you need a valuation then please let us know on the phone and/or via our contact page below. We will be happy to include this in our quotation.

A level 2 survey is based on a thorough inspection of the property. The report is less detailed than a level three survey and is most commonly suited to properties built since 1900.

Level 3 Survey (previously referred to as a Building Survey)

Please note - we are not currently providing this level of survey.

A level 3 survey is generally more suitable for older or larger properties or those perceived to be in a a poor condition. This report provides the buyer with a more in depth picture of the property. Detailed advice is included on how to remedy defects and ongoing maintenance issues are addressed.

RICS Red Book Valuation

Our surveyor is an RICS registered valuer, so we are able to provide you with an additional valuation in your level 2 report. Alternatively, a valuation in the standard RICS Red Book format can be provided for the purpose of shared ownership, Help to Buy, probate, matrimonial separation, or home purchase (non-lending).

New-Build Appraisals

In response to recent demand, we are now providing a survey of new-build properties. This is not to be confused with a snagging survey and comprises of an inspection to assess all of the attributes of a newly built property including its location, construction type and most importantly the quality of the construction. The survey includes a post inspection meeting on site (where permitted by the developer) and a follow-up email to you summarising any issues found.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you cover?
Icon
We have extensive experience in all of Kent and East Sussex. We also travel to London to carry out surveys.
Do I need to provide access to the property?
Icon
No, we take care of everything for you from the point of instruction, including contacting estate agents/vendors to gain access for the survey.
How long will it take to receive my report after the survey takes place?
Icon
No longer than five working days, but we are normally quicker than this
What is the difference between a level 2 survey and a level 3 survey?
Icon
The only difference is in the level of detailing the reports. A level two report is more concise and has a simple traffic light system for condition ratings, whereas a level 3 survey is a much more wordy report with a higher level of description and advice.
What type of survey do I need?
Icon
A residential property of standard construction built post 1850 (that is not listed) is generally suitable for a level 2 survey.

Properties that are larger, older, listed or of unusual construction may require a level 3 survey.

If you are unsure, please provide the postcode and first line of the address on our contact page and we can advise you.
