What exactly does a Level 3 Survey report entail

A Level 3 Home Survey sits above the RICS Home Survey Level 2 Report. We suggest it when a property needs a fuller look, and if the home fits one or more of the points below, Level 3 is the one to choose:

Much larger than your average property and is in good condition
Old (like, built before 1850 old)
Obviously in poor condition
Has a complex or unusual design
Is constructed in a non-traditional or otherwise unique way
Has undergone significant alterations or extensions since it was built
Is intended to be improved or extended in a significant way after purchase.

The surveyors we work with:

are both RICS qualified and registered
cover nationally based locally
have an outstanding reputation

The steps to getting your Level 3 Survey report

Get a quote

The process starts with a short online questionnaire. If the property is suitable for a Home survey level 3, we can move ahead and you can buy the survey through our website. Once that is done, we contact the seller within a day to arrange the visit.

Survey

After the appointment is set, there is nothing else for you to do. Our RICS surveyors visit the property as soon as they can, and we keep you updated throughout.

Report

The written report normally lands within 2-6 business days of the survey being completed. If you have questions about it, or about any other service you may need afterwards, our bookings team is there to help.

What you'll establish from your RICS Level 3 Survey

Ordering a Home Survey Level 3 through Homemove gives you a detailed inspection by a qualified surveyor. The report goes right through the building elements, serious risks and dangerous conditions, then sets out repair options and what could happen if repairs are left alone. We also include advice for your legal team, plus notes on any risks to the property and the people in it.

Why do I need a Level 3 building survey?

We understand the pull of a cheap valuation when you are buying a new home. A basic mortgage valuation may look like it tells you enough about condition and future maintenance, but it does not. Missed repairs can turn into large bills later on, and that is a hard lesson to learn after you have already committed so much money.

Common Questions

What exactly is a Level 3 House Survey?

The Building Survey, also called a structural survey, is the most expensive option, but it gives the fullest picture of the property's structure and fabric. We usually suggest it for older homes, especially those built before 1850, as well as properties in bad shape, places that have been heavily altered, or houses that are particularly large. If major renovations or improvements are on the cards, this is the report to choose.

Will a RICS Level 3 survey take long?

A Level 3 survey rarely runs beyond 8 hours. In our experience it sits somewhere between 3.5 hours and 8 hours, although the size and the condition of the property decide how long it will take.

What properties is a Level 3 Structural Survey suitable for?

Older homes, poor condition, major alterations, large properties, these are the jobs where a Level 3 Structural Survey earns its keep. We would also point you towards it if you are planning serious renovation work.

Is a Level 3 survey worth it?

Yes, a Level 3 survey is worth a close look if you want a fuller account of a property's condition, even though the price is higher than other options. Our qualified surveyor inspects the property and sets out the construction and condition of the building elements in detail. You also get repair options, the possible consequences of ignoring those repairs, advice for your legal team, and notes on any risks to the property and its occupants. Before a major purchase, that extra detail matters.

How much does a Level Three survey cost in the UK?

For a Level Three Home Survey from a RICS surveyor in your area, the usual range is £620 to £1,733, depending on the property price and how many bedrooms it has. Homemove keeps the price keen, and we can get it booked straight away, with instalments available too. Bigger properties take more time to inspect and need more research to find comparable property sales, so the final cost can move.
