Building Surveys Rye

Southdown Surveyors are Chartered Surveyors who specialise in Building Surveys. RICS Level 3 Home Surveys are suitable if you are dealing with a building which is run-down, old, large, unusual, altered or if you are planning major works. It is more expensive that some other RICS reports, but it provides an in-depth level of detail, discussing the structure and materials of the property. If the results of the survey identify costly defects, you may be able to negotiate with the vendor.

What does a RICS Level 3 Home Survey include?

• Detailed inspection and report on a range of issues
• A description of visible defects and problems cause by hidden flaws
• An outline of repair options and the likely results of inactivity
• Advice for your legal advisers and details of potential risks

We can add some additional services to your building survey, dependent on your requirements. There may be an extra charge, dependent upon the individual property:

• Cost guidelines, scales floor plans, feasibility studies and maintenance schedules
• Valuation
• Estimated cost of repairs
• Reinstatement cost assessment
• The use of a 'cherry-picker' to allow a more comprehensive assessment of the roof areas
