The Level 3 Survey provides a much more detailed examination of the property, including analysis of the construction of each element and the cause of any defects identified. While a Level 2 provides a general overview suitable for modern properties in good condition, the Level 3 digs deeper into structural issues, identifies hidden problems, and provides comprehensive advice on repairs and maintenance.
