RICS Level 3 Building Survey in Everton

Our qualified surveyors conduct a thorough visual inspection of all accessible areas of the property, including the roof space where safe and accessible, walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, and joinery. We examine the condition of the building's structure, including load-bearing walls, beams, joists, and foundations. Our team assesses the condition of all building services such as plumbing, electrical wiring, heating systems, and drainage, identifying any obvious safety concerns or items requiring professional attention from specialists.

The Level 3 survey is particularly valuable for properties in Everton that may fall into higher-risk categories. Properties constructed before 1900, those with non-standard construction methods, listed buildings, or homes that have undergone significant alterations all benefit from this detailed inspection. Given that Central Bedfordshire has seen a dynamic property market with 8,400 sales in the past twelve months, including 465 new builds, understanding exactly what you are purchasing becomes essential for protecting your investment.

We check for signs of structural movement, including cracks in walls, uneven floors, and doors that stick or fail to close properly. Our damp assessment includes using moisture meters to identify areas of penetrating damp, rising damp, and condensation issues that can lead to timber decay and structural problems if left untreated. We examine the roof structure, looking at the condition of rafters, battens, felt, and any insulation present.

Our surveyors produce a detailed report that categorises defects by severity, explains the implications for the property's future maintenance, and provides expert recommendations for further specialist investigations where necessary. The report includes clear photographs illustrating identified issues, making it straightforward to understand the current condition of the property and plan for any necessary remedial work.
