What is a RICS Level 3 Survey?
A RICS Level 3 Survey is the most comprehensive survey offered by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). It's designed to provide an in-depth analysis of a property's condition, making it ideal for older or more complex buildings. The report includes detailed information on defects, potential problems, and maintenance advice.
Unlike Level 1 and Level 2 surveys, which provide basic and mid-level assessments respectively, a Level 3 Survey goes much further. It includes extensive inspection and detailed reporting on structural issues, materials used, and potential problems that could arise. This makes it particularly useful for properties in poor condition or those that have undergone significant alterations.
