The RICS Level 3 Building Survey, formerly known as a Full Structural Survey, provides an exhaustive assessment of a property's condition. Our inspectors examine the structural integrity of walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs, identifying any defects, decay, or damage that could affect the property's value or require future remediation. The survey includes detailed analysis of the building's construction methods and materials, helping you understand how the property was built and what maintenance requirements you might face.
Unlike more basic assessments, the Level 3 survey addresses all property types including older buildings, unconventional constructions, and properties with known structural concerns. Our surveyors will open up accessible areas, use probing techniques where appropriate, and assess hidden elements that might reveal underlying problems. The resulting report provides clear guidance on the property's overall condition with specific recommendations for repairs and estimated costs.
For properties in the LD1 5 area, our inspectors pay particular attention to common issues affecting homes in the Llandrindod Wells region. This includes assessing the condition of roof coverings, checking for signs of damp penetration in traditional stone and brick constructions, and evaluating any extensions or alterations that may have been carried out over the years. The detailed nature of this survey makes it particularly valuable for older properties or those priced where the comprehensive assessment justifies the investment.
The Level 3 survey also includes assessment of any outbuildings, garages, and boundary walls that form part of the property. In the LD1 5 area, where many properties include substantial gardens and separate outbuildings, this comprehensive coverage ensures you have a complete picture of all structures included in your purchase. Our surveyors note the condition of drainage systems, examine the condition of any retaining walls, and assess the overall grounds of the property.

A RICS Level 3 survey ensures you understand exactly what you are purchasing regardless of the property type.
Given that the average property price in LD1 5 exceeds £248,000 and detached properties regularly exceed £300,000, the investment in a comprehensive Level 3 survey provides essential protection for your purchase decision.

The report is structured to highlight urgent issues separately from those requiring future attention, making it easy to prioritize any remediation work.
If you have any questions about the findings or need clarification on any aspect of the report, our team is available to discuss the results and advise on the next steps. We can explain technical findings in plain language and recommend specialist contractors if further investigation is required.
A RICS Level 3 Building Survey is particularly recommended for properties over £250,000, older buildings constructed before 1900, properties with visible structural concerns, homes of unusual construction, and any property where previous surveys have identified issues requiring detailed investigation.
