Building Surveys for Property Purchases

Purchasing a property is a significant investment, and understanding its condition before committing is essential. I offer independent building surveys tailored to property purchasers, providing clear, practical insights into the condition, defects, and potential risks associated with a property.

As an Associate member of CABE, I provide a professional and informed approach to surveying, offering a range of survey levels to suit different property types, ages, and client requirements. These surveys are designed to highlight structural issues, defects, maintenance concerns, and areas that may require further investigation—helping you make confident, informed decisions.

Survey Options & Pricing:

  • Level 1 Survey (Condition Report): From £295
    A concise overview of the property’s general condition, highlighting urgent defects and key risks.

  • Level 2 Survey (Homebuyer-Style Report): From £495
    A more detailed inspection including condition ratings, advice on repairs, and identification of visible defects.

  • Level 3 Survey (Full Building Survey): From £900
    A comprehensive inspection suitable for older, altered, or non-standard properties, including in-depth analysis of construction, defects, and recommended remedial works.

All reports are written in clear, jargon-free language and can be tailored to your specific concerns.

Snagging Reports
In addition to purchase surveys, I also offer snagging inspections for new-build properties, identifying defects and incomplete works to help ensure your property is finished to an acceptable standard. Pricing for snagging reports starts from £250.
