What is a house survey?
A house survey is an inspection of a property carried out by a professional surveyor. The full report will highlight any problems to a perspective buyer, so it can be an important aspect of buying a new home.
There are two main types of survey, depending on the type of property you’re getting inspected. Most buyers will opt for a mid-level survey, but for older and listed properties we would recommend a more comprehensive Level 3 survey.
Our expert building surveyors will ensure your report is comprehensive to identify any major or minor defects with the property. Once the report is complete we will be in touch to discuss the report in full, answering any questions you may have.
What is included?
Our surveys provide a full breakdown of defects with the property, highlighting what work may need to be done. Depending on the type of survey you opt for, some of the main features on the report could include:
- Roof damage
- Timber damage including Woodworm and Dry Rot
- Insulation report
- Building materials and technical information about the building
- Recommendations for further investigations
- Damp report

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The actual amount you pay will depend upon your circumstances.
