Building Survey Portishead

Do you need a building survey for a property in the Portishead area?

House Nous can connect you with experienced local building surveyors who are ready to assist.

Buying a property is a significant investment. A survey can help you understand its condition and identify any major issues that might impact 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.
