Building Survey – Our Most Comprehensive Surrey Home Survey

A Building Survey (formerly known as a Structural Survey) is the most detailed type of survey available. It's the right choice if you're looking to purchase an older property, an unusual building, or one that has been substantially extended or altered.

Our Building Survey covers every visible and accessible element of the property – from the roof to the foundations. We assess structural integrity, identify defects, explain the construction methods used and provide clear advice on repair costs and priorities.

What our Building Survey covers:

Full structural inspection including roof, walls, floors and foundations
Damp, timber decay and infestation checks
Assessment of drainage, services and outbuildings
Detailed repair recommendations and estimated costs
Written in clear, plain English – no jargon
Ideal for pre-purchase or renovation planning

RICS Level 2

RICS HomeBuyer Report – A Clear Survey for Modern Homes

The RICS HomeBuyer Report (Level 2) is a clear, standardised survey designed for conventional residential properties that appear to be in reasonable condition. It's one of the most popular survey services for home buyers who don't need the full depth of a Level 3 Building Survey.

Using a simple traffic light rating system (condition ratings 1, 2 and 3), the report gives you a quick but thorough overview of the property's condition. It also includes an optional market valuation and insurance reinstatement figure.

Who is it suitable for?

Conventional properties built after 1930
Properties that appear to be in reasonable condition
First-time buyers needing clear, accessible advice
Standard flats, semis and terraces in Surrey

FAQs

Your Survey Questions Answered

How much does a building survey cost in Surrey?

Building survey costs vary depending on the size, age and complexity of the property. As a guide, a RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer Report for a 2-bedroom flat in Surrey typically starts from around £400–£500, while a full Level 3 Building Survey for a large Victorian house might be £700–£1,200+. Contact us for a fixed-fee quote tailored to your specific property.

Can I use the survey to renegotiate the purchase price?

Absolutely. One of the most practical uses of a building survey is to negotiate a price reduction or request that defects be repaired before completion. Our detailed repair cost estimates make it much easier for your solicitor to negotiate effectively on your behalf.

Do you survey flats and leasehold properties?

Yes – we survey all types of residential property, including flats, apartments and leasehold properties. For leasehold properties, we'll also advise on any communal areas, shared services and any issues that may have implications for the lease or service charge.

What is a Schedule of Condition and when do I need one?

A Schedule of Condition is a factual record of the state of a property or boundary at a specific point in time. It's commonly used in commercial leases to limit a tenant's dilapidations liability, and in party wall matters to record the condition of a neighbour's property before building works begin.

How do I know which survey is right for my property purchase?

As a general rule: if the property is a modern house built after 1930 and appears to be in good condition, a Level 2 HomeBuyer Report is often sufficient. If it's older, unusual, extended, or you've noticed any concerns during the viewing, go for a Level 3 Building Survey. Not sure? Give us a call – we're happy to advise with no obligation.
