Level 3 Building Survey – Worcester

With Worcester’s varied property market, commissioning a survey ensures you have a clear understanding of the building before committing to a purchase. If you are planning renovations or structural modifications, a Level 3 Building Survey provides vital insights into the property’s condition.

A building survey thoroughly examines the property, identifying structural concerns and highlighting potential risks. This is particularly valuable when purchasing in Worcester, a historic city with a diverse range of properties.

At Easton Bevins, we go beyond a standard survey checklist. Our reports are customised to address the specific needs of each property, offering expert guidance to protect your investment in Worcester’s property market.

A Level 3 Building Survey assesses major and minor defects, future maintenance requirements, and recommended repairs. It provides a detailed analysis of the property’s construction, including external and internal fixtures, outbuildings, and energy efficiency recommendations.

What does a Level 3 Survey include?

• Detailed evaluation of the property’s overall condition.
• Identification of visible and potential hidden defects.
• Guidance on estimated costs for necessary repairs.
• Expert recommendations for any additional inspections or specialist reports.

On a Level 3 Building Survey we inspect the inside and outside of the main building and all permanent outbuildings. We also visually inspect the parts of the electricity, gas/oil, water, heating, drainage and other services that can be seen -although these are not tested other than for normal operation in everyday use.

Where practicable and agreed, we will report on the cost of any work for identified repairs and make recommendations on how these should be carried out.

The money spent on the survey can save you thousands of pounds when purchasing a house or flat in Worcester, making it a very worthwhile investment. You may decide to reconsider your purchase or negotiate a price reduction to address costs to repair defects.

While a survey cannot guarantee price negotiations, many buyers use our findings to support discussions with the seller. In some cases, the cost of the survey is offset by a reduction in the purchase price. Even if the price remains unchanged, our reports enable you to make an informed buying decision with full knowledge of any underlying issues.
