An RICS Level 2 Survey is a formal, non-invasive assessment for conventional properties in reasonable condition. Using a "traffic light" rating system, a chartered surveyor evaluates accessible areas to identify significant defects like damp or subsidence. This report provides essential due diligence, highlighting urgent repairs and maintenance risks to inform the buyer's investment before the exchange of contracts.
An RICS Level 3 Survey is a comprehensive structural assessment designed for older, large, or significantly altered properties. A chartered surveyor conducts a deep-dive inspection of the building's fabric and structural integrity, uncovering hidden defects like serious subsidence or timber rot. The resulting report provides detailed technical advice on repairs, including estimated costs and timelines.
An RICS Valuation is a formal, evidence-based assessment of a property’s market value conducted by a Registered Valuer following "Red Book" standards. Unlike estate agent estimates, these reports are official and mandatory for 2026 requirements like probate, Help to Buy redemptions, and divorce settlements.
A New Build Snagging Report is a professional inspection that identifies defects or "snags" in a newly constructed home, ranging from cosmetic flaws like paint scuffs to serious building regulation breaches. In 2026, these reports are typically used as Pre-Completion Inspections to force developers to fix issues before the keys are handed over.
Individual defect analysis reports (or Single/Specific Defect Reports) are detailed expert assessments focusing on one or a few specific problems in a property (like damp, cracks, or structural issues) identifying causes, risks, and recommended solutions, unlike broader surveys or general bug reports, and are crucial for informed decisions on repairs or development. They provide clear, concise information for owners, buyers, or developers to understand and resolve issues efficiently.
Our experienced surveyors can provide expert witness testimony in legal proceedings related to land surveying. We have extensive knowledge of the industry and can provide valuable insights and analysis to support your case.
