RICS LEVEL 3 SURVEYS

A Level 3 survey is always recommended for properties over 100 years old. We take great care to discuss client needs at the outset, carry out inspection in detail for each element of the property and take detailed photographs and notes.

By providing a structured report including defects, repair and maintenance options and advice, I supply you with essential details regarding the structure and condition of the property.
