RICS-regulated Level 2 and Level 3 building surveys to match your property and purchase requirements.
Introduction
RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) sets the standards for surveying in the UK. Building surveys are available at different levels of detail, and choosing the right survey depends on the age, type, and condition of the property you are purchasing.
Level 2
A Level 2 RICS Building Survey is a mid-range survey providing a more detailed analysis of a property's condition than a Level 1 Condition Report. It is suitable for most conventional properties in reasonable condition.
A Level 2 survey report includes:
Level 3
A Level 3 RICS Building Survey is the most comprehensive type of survey available. It is recommended for larger or older properties, those with non-standard construction, and properties that have undergone significant alterations or are in poor condition.
A Level 3 survey report includes:
Our Technology
At Katoli Building Surveyors, we use the latest surveying equipment to ensure our reports are comprehensive and accurate. Some areas of a property can be difficult to access, so we use drone technology to inspect high-level areas such as roofs, chimneys, and gutters.
This allows us to provide a detailed and comprehensive inspection of all areas of the property, giving you complete peace of mind.
