Level 3 Home Survey
The most comprehensive assessment for older, larger, or unusual properties.
THE FULL BUILDING SURVEY
What a Level 3 Survey Covers
A Level 3 Home Survey (formerly a Full Building Survey) is the most thorough inspection we offer. It provides a comprehensive assessment of the property’s condition, construction, and all accessible defects. Our chartered surveyors in Guildford and London conduct a deep-dive investigation, looking beyond the surface to identify structural issues, damp, timber defects, and potential future problems.
LEVEL 2 VS LEVEL 3
Choosing the Right Survey
Unlike the more comprehensive Level 3 Survey, the Level 2 report is designed for standard, conventional properties built after 1900 that are in reasonable condition. It is less detailed than a Level 3 but provides essential peace of mind for homebuyers.
