Surveys

Our Survey Services

RICS Level 2 (HomeBuyer) Surveys

A RICS Level 2 Survey is designed for conventional residential properties in reasonable condition. It provides a clear overview of the property’s condition, highlighting any significant issues that may affect value or require attention. Presented in an easy-to-understand format, it’s ideal for buyers looking for reassurance before proceeding with a purchase.

RICS Level 3 (Building) Surveys

The most comprehensive survey available, a RICS Level 3 Survey offers a detailed inspection of the property’s structure and condition. Suitable for older, larger or non-standard buildings, it identifies defects, potential risks and future maintenance requirements, giving you a complete understanding before committing to a purchase or refurbishment.

Commercial Building Surveys

Our commercial surveys provide a thorough assessment of a property’s condition, tailored to the needs of investors, landlords and occupiers. We identify structural issues, compliance considerations and ongoing maintenance requirements, helping you understand risk and plan effectively for the future.

Defect Analysis & Condition Reports

If you’ve identified an issue or have concerns about a property, our defect analysis service provides targeted investigation and clear, practical advice. We assess the cause, extent and implications of defects, along with recommendations for remedial works and ongoing management.

Pre-Acquisition Surveys

Before committing to a purchase, our pre-acquisition surveys give you the insight needed to make an informed decision. We assess the property’s condition, highlight potential liabilities and identify any risks that could impact value, allowing you to proceed with confidence or renegotiate where necessary.

Planned Maintenance Advice

We help property owners take a proactive approach to maintenance through structured, forward-looking advice. Our planned maintenance reports outline expected works, timelines and associated costs, enabling you to manage budgets effectively and protect the long-term value of your asset.

Technology

Drone Surveys & Advanced Inspection

As part of our service, we utilise drone technology to carry out detailed inspections of areas that are difficult or unsafe to access, such as roofs, elevations and high-level structures.

Drone surveys allow us to capture high-resolution imagery and video, providing a more accurate assessment without the need for costly scaffolding or intrusive access. This approach improves safety, reduces disruption and enhances the overall quality of our reporting.

Brilliant and smooth transaction which involved the acquisition of a prime retail unit on the High Street, Lee-on-the-Solent. Graham is professional and provides a full comprehensive service where he is able to always represent the best interests of both the seller and the buyer when needed. Highly recommended
