Key Building Survey Features

Aerial Assessment

Our building surveys include an inspection of roofs, chimneys, rainwater and roofline goods via drone or camera pole. This provides useful information on the condition of elements which may be concealed from a ground level point of observation.

Structural Assessment

A key part of your building survey will be an assessment of the structure. This is to ascertain the structural condition of the property, and whether there are any serious issues such as subsidence.

Dampness & Timber Decay

The inspection includes a thorough assessment for dampness and timber decay. These are two common and damaging building defects found in residential homes, and our survey will tell you if there are such issues and if found, what you need to do about it.

Services

Our survey includes an assessment of the property services including fuel, electricity, plumbing, heating & drainage. We inspect the general age and condition of services and include information in your L3 Survey Report.

The Site & Grounds

The L3 includes an inspection of the grounds, including any permanent out-buildings such as garages. Fencing, garden walls and surface water drainage provisions are inspected.
