Find the Right Survey for Your Project

If you're buying or selling a property, it’s essential to understand the type of survey necessary for your specific circumstances.

There are three main types of home buyer surveys in the UK:

• Level 1 Survey (Condition Report) (Not offered by us)

  A basic survey that highlights urgent defects in the property, without too much detail. It’s ideal for newer homes or properties in good condition and typically costs around £300.

• Level 2 Survey (Home Buyer Report) (Not offered by us)

  This more detailed survey includes everything from the Level 1 Survey, plus further investigation into potential issues. It’s suitable for properties in reasonable condition but that need closer inspection. Expect to pay around £350.

• Level 3 Survey (Building Survey) (Not offered by us)

  The most comprehensive survey available, it examines all aspects of the property’s structure and condition. This is ideal for older or more complex homes and can cost from £500 upwards.

• Topographical Survey

  Provides a detailed map of the land to ensure your project is designed accurately from the ground up.

• Boundary Survey

  Gives a clear understanding of your boundary lines, removes uncertainty around neighbouring land, and helps to prevent disputes.

• Measured Building Survey

  If there are existing structures involved, we can measure them to ensure accurate planning for new builds or extensions.
