Building Surveyors in Ipswich

All of our building surveys are comprehensive, detailed and thorough. We work hard to make sure that our reports are clear and supported by photographs, to help you understand the condition of the property you are buying, and any works that will be required.

RICS Level 3 Surveys in Ipswich

Our full building surveys (Level 3) are the most thorough type of survey on the market. Covering everything from cosmetic issues to structural defects, these surveys make sure you have a complete understanding of the home you are buying, allowing you to make your purchase with confidence.

The in-depth nature of a full building survey means that as well as commenting on any visible defects, there is scope for the surveyor to follow up on any suspicions they have that there might be hidden problems. The report will describe any wear and tear, as well as assessments of more serious issues, such as any risk of subsidence risk.

Our clients find these survey reports particularly useful because they go into detail on the options for fixing defects, and the costs of the work required. This information can be used to negotiate on house price, with clients often saving many times the cost of the survey.

Level 2 Surveys in Ipswich

We are often asked to carry out level 2 (homebuyer) surveys on the more modern properties in Ipswich, such as those in the Whitehouse and Castle Hill areas. Level 2 surveys differ from Level 3 in that they do not go into quite as much detail and they are less tailored to each individual property. They are, however, great for getting a good overview of the condition of a newer property and an understanding of any serious defects that might be present.

Our team are happy to help you decide which type of survey would be best for your needs and your property. You can also check out our factsheet, explaining the main differences between the two survey types.
