Our Reports
Buying an older, altered, or complex home? A Level 3 survey gives you the most comprehensive assessment available — not just highlighting problems, but explaining their causes, consequences, and repair options. It’s designed to protect you from costly surprises and give you the confidence to negotiate, plan works, or walk away if the risks are too high.
Detailed examination signs of movement, subsidence, roof spread, or deterioration in load-bearing walls and foundations.

Outcome
The buyers were facing a long house-buying process and nearly skipped the survey. Houzecheck arranged a new inspection date quickly after the first one fell through and delivered the report much faster than expected. The Level 3 survey uncovered serious issues the buyers would have missed - saving them from inheriting expensive repairs.
The survey findings compelled the sellers to address nearly £5,000 in defects, preventing the buyers from unexpected repair costs.

Level 3 Surveys
Here’s a short note from our Head of Surveying, Adrian Hall about level 3 surveys
With over 25 years in the surveying profession, I know that some homes need more than a quick check - they need a full investigation. That’s where a RICS Level 3 Survey makes all the difference.
A Level 3 isn’t just about identifying problems - it explains their cause, how serious they are, and what can be done about them. Whether it’s subsidence, roof spread, hidden damp, or unsafe alterations, we’ll give you a clear understanding of the risks and the likely costs of repair or maintenance.
At Houzecheck, every Level 3 report is carried out by a highly qualified RICS surveyor from our trusted national network. We pride ourselves on combining depth and detail with clarity - no jargon, just actionable advice you can use.
For buyers of older, altered, or complex homes, a Level 3 Survey can be the difference between making a costly mistake and making a confident investment. That’s why we do what we do - to give you the knowledge, reassurance, and negotiating power you need before you commit.
