RICS Home Survey - Level 3

The RICS Home Survey - Level 3 (previously known as the full structural survey or Building Survey) is the most thorough and comprehensive inspection and detailed report offered by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

An RICS Level 3 Home Survey (Click to find out more) is normally carried out on large, older or run-down properties. Properties that have undergone conversion or significant alteration where more specialist and tailored advice is required. It can however be undertaken if a client so wishes, on any age, type or style of property. 


This survey provides an extensive, in-depth analysis of the property’s condition and includes advice on significant defects, readily apparent potential hazards, repair and maintenance options. It does this by using a ‘traffic light’ condition rating system.

Our survey will help you to;

- Make a more informed decision about whether to proceed with the property, or when planning for repairs, maintenance or upgrading.

- Provide detailed advice on condition.

- Describe the identifiable risk of potential or hidden defects.

- Propose the most probable causes.

- Renegotiate if there are major works highlighted.


Once you have received your RICS Level 3 Home Survey we will be at the end of the phone to answer any queries.
