Building Surveys (level 3)

Unsure as to which type of survey to instruct? Here’s a short video that outlines the differences

A Building Survey is recommended by surveyors for older properties or where previous alterations and additions have been carried out. This survey includes a detailed description of the construction of the property, inspection of all main building components including each room, as well as all roofs, floors, walls, windows, services, finishes, grounds and boundaries. An Insurance Reinstatement Cost and a market valuation can be included for an additional fee.

Our Surveyor will highlight the need for repair, specify remedial work and often provide approximate costs. An insurance reinstatement cost is usually provided and a market valuation can be included at an additional charge.

Building Surveys are particularly appropriate for:

  • Listed Buildings – a building that is on the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest
  • Older Properties – recommended for properties over 50 years old
  • Buildings constructed in an unusual way, regardless of age
  • Buildings that you intend to renovate or change
  • Buildings that have already been renovated or significantly altered

A full Building Survey will include:

  • A building inspection
  • A full survey report
  • A property valuation and insurance reinstatement cost if requested.

A Building Survey can take around a day to complete and the final report can take up to two weeks to prepare. The report will summarise what was found during the survey and make recommendations if further specialist surveys are required. A Building Survey (level 3) is more expensive than a HomeBuyer Report, but getting one could save you a lot of money or stop you from buying a property that has hidden problems.

  • “I needed a house valuation for probate. Sussex Surveyors were able to carry it out in five days and their completed report was sent to me two days after the inspection. I found the service professional, efficient and polite, they were aware of what I needed, and their completion of the report was prompt. I would use the service again.”

  • "I highly recommend the team at Sussex Surveyors. We used them for our Level 2 survey and were very pleased with their service. The team is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They provided a comprehensive report, and their communication was timely throughout the process. There were a few areas in the report where we needed further explanation, and Ashley, our surveyor, took the time for a call to answer all my questions."

  • "We needed a survey on a flat within a Grade 1 building. We chose Sussex Surveyors as they were recommended to us because of their Grade 1 expertise. David Aspey's report was very clear, easy to understand and the list of advised works is invaluable. it gave us a realistic snapshot of the property we are hoping to buy."
