Frequently asked questions
How much is a house survey?
A RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer Report is £400–£900; a full Level 3 Building Survey is £600–£1,500 depending on property size and age.
Which survey do I need?
Level 2 suits most conventional homes; choose Level 3 for older, larger or altered properties where you want detail on defects.
Is a survey the same as a valuation?
No, a mortgage valuation only confirms the lender's figure. A survey inspects condition and flags defects and repairs.
