Thinking of purchasing a home in Dorking? Before purchasing any property in Surrey, it’s important to understand whether any reparations or renovations are required, and a detailed survey will provide you with a complete inspection of the property that identifies all visible defects or problems. Our experienced surveyors, in a easy-to-read survey report will list any noticeable defects or future potential issues like structural damage, rot or mould. In the report, we’ll also include potential costs of repairs and professional advice on what can be done to repair any defects to accurately represent the current property’s condition. Not sure which type of survey you need? Explore the different types below:
Best for modern properties, as opposed to older, complex or neglected dwellings. The Level 1 report will detail the condition of the building, grounds and services, providing an assessment of the importance of defects, like legal issues or obvious risks to the building or its inhabitants. It does not include advice on repairs or ongoing maintenance, but rather recommendations for further investigations.
The Level 2 Home Survey is best for buyers, owners and vendors who seek professional, objective reports on the condition of the main elements of any given property, including internal and external visible defects, e.g. damp, subsidence etc. The inspection will cover as much of the property as is physically possible, but will not include detailed advice on repairs.
A Level 3 survey is the most detailed and thorough of all the assessments and will address the building materials, defects and remedial options, as well as potential issues related to the property’s maintenance. Best used for properties in poor condition, are larger than usual or were built prior to 1850. This survey will also be applicable in situations where a property has undergone major changes.
