The RICS Level 3 Home Survey, also known as the Building Survey, is the most detailed and comprehensive residential survey available. It is specifically designed for older, larger, or more complex properties, and for homes that may have been significantly altered or are in poor condition.

This extensive report provides an in-depth analysis of the property’s construction, structural integrity, condition, and any visible or potential defects. It includes technical detail, commentary on serious issues, and advice on necessary repairs, maintenance, and potential future problems.

The Level 3 survey is an invaluable due diligence tool for buyers, investors, and homeowners who need a clear understanding of a property's true state before making a major financial commitment.

At MCG Surveying Services, we produce our Level 3 reports using the official RICS-approved format, ensuring the highest standards in inspection, reporting and clarity. Each survey is tailored to the property and includes photographs, drone imagery (where required), and practical recommendations.

Best suited for:

Period or historic buildings

Properties with known defects or in poor condition.

Older homes, or those built before 1930.

Properties that have been heavily extended or altered.

If you're considering a property that raises questions about its condition or structure, the RICS Level 3 Building Survey offers the confidence and clarity you need to proceed with peace of mind.
