It offers a thorough, in-depth assessment of a property’s condition and gives advice on defects, repairs, and maintenance options. This survey is best suited for larger, older, or rundown properties, as well as buildings that are unusual, heavily altered, or where major renovation works are planned.

Common questions about Level 3 Surveys
What’s the difference between Level 2 and Level 3?
Level 2 surveys provide a general overview of the property’s condition, ideal for conventional homes in reasonable condition. Level 3 surveys are far more detailed, recommended for older, larger, or unconventional properties where a deeper investigation is needed.
How long does a Level 3 survey take?
A Level 3 survey typically takes between 4–8 hours depending on the size, age, and complexity of the property. The report is usually delivered within a few working days afterward.
Does it include repair cost estimates?
Yes, a Level 3 survey often includes advice on the nature of repairs, timelines, and approximate costs, giving you a clearer picture of future expenses.
When should I choose a Level 3 over Level 2?
Choose a Level 3 survey for properties that are old, large, listed, in poor condition, or have unusual construction. For newer, standard homes in good condition, a Level 2 survey may be sufficient.
