Services
RICS Level 2 Survey
The RICS Level 2 Home Survey provides a comprehensive overview of a property's condition, highlighting significant defects and risks. Ideal for conventional properties, it includes colour-coded condition ratings and advice on repairs, legal considerations, and environmental factors. This survey helps buyers budget for maintenance and negotiate fair prices.
RICS Level 3 Survey
A detailed inspection for older or altered properties, the Level 3 Survey offers in-depth analysis of construction methods and defects. It includes urgent repair summaries, technical remedial advice, and photographic records. This report is essential for understanding long-term maintenance needs and structural integrity.
Defects Analysis
Our defects analysis identifies structural and maintenance issues affecting property value. Using RICS standards, we assess causes, repair costs, and urgency. Clients receive actionable recommendations to address problems, ensuring informed decisions for purchases or renovations.
Residential Valuations
Accurate residential valuations support mortgage applications, probate, or sales. Conducted by RICS-certified surveyors, these assessments consider local market trends, property condition, and comparable sales. Reports provide defensible figures for legal and financial purposes.
Planning Applications
We assist with planning applications by evaluating feasibility, compliance, and property-specific constraints. Our reports address local authority requirements, helping clients secure approvals for extensions, conversions, or new builds.
