Every RICS Level 3 Structural Survey from our team includes a comprehensive inspection of all accessible areas of the property. Our surveyor will examine the roof structure, inspect damp proof courses, assess the condition of windows and doors, and evaluate the overall structural integrity of the building. We open up accessible areas where necessary to get a true picture of construction quality, because we know that surface appearances can hide significant structural issues.
The report includes detailed photographs of all significant defects, clear explanations of what each issue means for the property's future, and prioritised recommendations for any remedial work required. We categorise defects by severity, distinguishing between urgent issues requiring immediate attention and matters that can be addressed over time. This prioritisation helps you plan both immediate actions and longer-term maintenance budgets.
We also provide specific cost guidance for addressing each identified issue, drawing on our extensive experience with Flackwell Heath properties and the local construction industry. Our reports typically run to 40 pages or more, providing far more detail than the basic 10-15 page reports offered by standard surveys. This comprehensive approach ensures you have complete information about the property's condition before committing to your purchase.

Even if these issues appear minor, our detailed assessment can reveal the true extent of the problem and whether remedial work has been properly carried out.

These properties often present unique challenges that require specific expertise to evaluate properly. Our surveyors have experience with a wide range of construction types and can identify issues that would be missed by a less comprehensive inspection.
