Chartered RICS Home Surveyors: Southampton

White Building, 1–4 Cumberland Place
Southampton, SO15 2NP

Level 3 and Level 2 RICS building surveys from experienced Chartered Surveyors. Covering Southampton and surrounding areas of Winchester, Salisbury, Poole and Bournemouth.

Our Southampton home surveyors offer detailed, professional advice, specific to your property and your concerns.

Most of our clients choose a Level 3 building survey when buying a property in the Hampshire and Dorset regions. These are the gold-standard RICS survey; the most comprehensive type available.

Our experienced locally-based surveyors are RICS chartered and experts in the residential property, with decades of experience surveying homes in and around the Southampton region. From country houses in the New Forest, to Winchester townhouses and luxury homes by the water, they have an in-depth understanding of the particular defects and issues common to the area.

Living and working in the South Coast region, they cover an area from Southampton and Sarisbury in the West, north to Winchester and Salisbury, and east to Poole and Bournemouth.

Level 3 surveys are also often referred to as ‘full structural building surveys’, because they cover everything from serious structural defects to general wear and tear, helping you budget for remedial works and maintenance. This information can also be used to negotatiate on the purchase price, particularly if any significant or expensive issues are uncovered.

Purchasers buying modern, conventionally built houses in good condition sometimes opt for a HomeBuyer survey (RICS Level 2). These are appropriate for homes built since the 1930s that are well-built, with a standard construction type, and that have not had substantial alterations. While they do not contain the same level of detail as a Level 3 report, they will highlight any serious defects with a property and can provide reassurance before a purchase is made.

Level 2 survey reports have a straightforward format and clearly highlight any moderate or serious issues, in addition to any defects that could reduce the market value of the property or pose a risk to health and safety.

Our Southampton surveying team can advise you on which survey type to choose, depending on the property and your particular needs and concerns. Alternatively, you can view our building survey video and download our factsheet for more information.
