Do I need a RICS Level 3 Building Survey?
A RICS Level 3 Home Survey, also known as a Building Survey, is a more in-depth assessment of a property’s condition than a RICS Level 2 Home Survey. It is generally recommended for older properties, properties that are in need of significant repairs or renovations, or properties that have been extended or altered.
What’s Included In The RICS Building Survey Report
- Red, amber and green colour coding system to rate the seriousness of any issues found
- Detailed assessment of property's condition, including defects and issues
- Evaluation of structure, including roof, walls, floors, foundations
- Assessment of drainage and dampness
- Report on windows and doors condition
- Report on heating, electrical and plumbing systems
- Report on external areas, including garden and outbuildings
- Advice on repairs, maintenance, and legal issues
- Information about construction and architecture
- Advice on planning or building regulations issues
The Report Will Enable You To:
Negotiate the price
If the report highlights any significant defects or issues that may affect the property's value, the buyer may be able to negotiate a lower purchase price with the seller.
Plan for repairs and maintenance
The report highlights any repairs or maintenance that may need to be addressed in the future, which can help the buyer to plan for these costs and budget accordingly.
Make an informed decision
The report provides a comprehensive assessment of the property's condition, which can help the buyer to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the purchase.
Request repairs
If the report highlights any urgent or significant defects, the buyer may be able to request that the seller carry out these repairs before the sale is completed.
