FAQ - Property Survey Services

For Victorian residential properties in Cardiff, we typically recommend a Level 3 building survey. These period properties often have unique construction methods and potential issues that require thorough inspection by experienced building surveyors. The comprehensive nature of a building survey ensures you understand the condition of the property fully.

A Level 2 RICS home survey (homebuyer report) is suitable for conventional properties in reasonable condition, focusing on visible defects. A Level 3 building survey is more detailed, investigating hidden areas where accessible and providing extensive analysis of construction and condition. Building surveyors recommend Level 3 for older, altered, or unusual properties.

Survey costs depend on property size, type, and location across Cardiff and South Wales. Generally, Level 2 homebuyer surveys are more affordable than comprehensive building surveys. Contact us for an online quote specific to your property. As an independent firm of chartered surveyors, we offer competitive pricing with transparent fees.

Even for new residential properties, a professional survey can be valuable. While new builds come with warranties, an independent inspection by RICS chartered surveyors can identify construction issues early. For properties under Help to Buy Wales, valuations are mandatory. We offer tailored surveys for new homes built across South Wales.
