The comprehensive nature of the Level 3 survey means you receive a complete picture of the property's condition, not just a basic overview. We assess the roof structure and covering, examine brickwork and pointing condition, investigate damp and timber decay, evaluate foundations for signs of subsidence, and comment on electrical and plumbing observations. We also assess thermal efficiency, which is increasingly important for properties that may have been built before modern insulation standards were introduced.
