Our Services
RICS Level 2 Home Surveys
A Level 2 Home Survey is suitable for many conventional properties built using traditional construction methods and appearing to be in reasonable condition.
Our reports highlight significant defects, urgent repairs and maintenance issues, helping buyers understand the condition of a property before committing to a purchase.
RICS Level 3 Building Surveys
A Level 3 Building Survey provides a more detailed inspection and is often recommended for:
Older properties
Period homes
Listed buildings
Properties that have been altered or extended
Rural properties
Buildings requiring renovation
Our comprehensive reports explain the condition of the property, identify defects and provide practical advice regarding repairs and future maintenance.
New Build Snagging Inspections
Purchasing a newly built property does not guarantee that it will be free from defects.

Defective brickwork and pointing
Roofing defects

A detailed snagging report can be provided directly to the developer for remedial action.
