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

The building survey report I received from Southdown for my proposed house purchase was extremely comprehensive and helpful. I had partly expected pages of general comments and padding. However it was very specific to the property and very detailed and it was clear that considerable amount of time and effort went into the survey itself and the report. It made very clear the remedial work and action points that are required and it will be very crucial in renegotiating the purchase price. Matthew Symonds who undertook the survey was genuinely interested and helpful in answering the various queries I had and gave me all the time I needed. He clearly understands customer service! The report was worth every penny and I have no hesitation in recommending Southdown Surveyors or using them in future.
