Unlike a Level 2  Homebuyers survey, Level 3 reports can be adapted to suit specific needs. For example, if there is a particular area of concern.

A Level 3 inspection is recommended for property that fits the following description:

• Older (pre-war) homes

• Unconventional homes which have experienced significant changes or require major works

​

What’s more, by evaluating the cause of any defects present in the home and estimating the need for repairs, the Level 3 survey offers the most detailed insight into the condition of a property. This includes the following elements:

​

• Roof Inspection (the Surveyor will identify the type and thickness of ceiling, lifting small corners if necessary)

• Exposed surfaces and floors (the Surveyors will lift any loose or unfitted carpet/floor coverings if possible)

• Any accessible chambers (observing the standard operation of drains in day-to-day life)

• Windows (if practical, the Surveyor will open all windows in the property)

​

Due to the highly detailed nature of the report, the Level 3 inspections can take up to four hours to complete on site (depending on the size and nature of the property in question).
