What this report is for.
This RICS Home Survey Level 3 report is intended for buyers, owners and residential surveyors requiring a comprehensive inspection of a property’s condition, construction and risks in accordance with Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) standards.
The report delivers an in-depth assessment of the building fabric, roof structure, walls, floors, services, drainage, ventilation, energy efficiency and external elements using the standard RICS condition rating system. It highlights urgent defects, recommended investigations, health and safety concerns, likely maintenance liabilities and guidance on repairs, supported throughout with site photography and technical commentary.
Level 3 surveys are particularly suited to older, altered or traditionally constructed properties, homes requiring renovation or properties where buyers need detailed technical advice before purchase. The report also assists with budgeting for repairs, negotiating purchase prices, planning maintenance works and identifying areas requiring specialist investigation before legal commitment.
