Investing in a property is a major decision. A building survey will assist you in evaluating your property's condition and identifying any potential issues that could affect its value.

RICS, the professional body regulating surveyors, categorises building surveys into three levels, with most surveys falling within these categories—especially when conducted by accredited firms.

• Level 1 Building Survey: This survey option is the most economical but offers only a basic overview of your property's condition. It is primarily recommended for new build properties in good condition.
• Level 2 Building Survey: Formerly known as the RICS Homebuyers Survey, this survey provides more detailed information compared to Level 1. It identifies defects but does not include advice on necessary repairs. This survey is suitable for properties built within the last 30 years.
• Level 3 Building Survey: This is the most comprehensive and costly type of survey. It provides detailed insights into the property's construction, identifies defects, and offers recommendations for repairs. It is ideal for more intricate properties or those over 30 years old.

Most surveyors can offer guidance on which survey would best suit your property's specific needs.
