Building Surveys in Bristol

Building Survey Bristol

Looking for a building survey on a property in the Bristol area?

House Nous can put you touch with selected local building surveyors ready to offer their services.

Purchasing a property is a big investment. A survey will help ensure you understand the condition of your property and whether it has any serious issues that might affect its value.

RICS, the professional body regulating surveyors, classifies building surveys under three levels, most surveys fall within these levels – especially if the firm is regulated.

• Level 1 Building Survey
  The cheapest survey but is not particularly detailed. It will only provide you with a brief overview of the condition of your property and is only really recommended for new build properties in good condition.
• Level 2 Building Survey
  Previously called the RICS Homebuyers Survey it contains more detail than a Level 1 survey. It provides more information about defects but not advice on repairs that are needed, this survey is recommended for properties built within the last 30 years.
• Level 3 Building Survey
  The most detailed type of survey, and the most costly. It provides information on the construction, any defects and advice on repairs. It is suitable for more complex properties or those that are over 30 years old.

Most surveyors will advise you on which survey would be most suitable for your property.
