A RICS Level 2 homebuyer report is a mid-range survey best suited to properties built after 1900 that are in reasonable condition. It uses a traffic-light system to highlight defects and includes a market valuation. A RICS Level 3 building survey (formerly the full structural survey) is far more detailed. It's ideal for older, larger, or unusual properties, or any home where you suspect issues. The Level 3 survey covers the construction, building materials and all structural issues in depth — and recommends repair work. If in doubt, we always recommend the Level 3 for peace of mind when buying a property in Basingstoke.
Survey costs vary depending on property size, type and the level of survey you need. As a rough guide: RICS Level 2 homebuyer reports typically start from around £400–£550, while RICS Level 3 building surveys start from around £600–£900 depending on property size. New build snagging surveys start from approximately £300. We always provide a fixed, transparent quote before you commit — no surprises.

Absolutely, yes. A mortgage lender's valuation is done for the lender's benefit — not yours. It simply confirms the property is worth the loan amount. It does not tell you about structural issues, damp, roof problems or any defects. We've seen countless buyers skip a proper survey to save money, only to face thousands of pounds in repairs after moving in. A comprehensive home survey from our Basingstoke surveyors typically costs a fraction of what it saves you in unexpected repair costs.
The inspection itself usually takes between 2 and 4 hours on site, depending on the size and complexity of the property. A typical survey on a 3-bedroom semi-detached house takes about 2.5–3 hours. We then produce your report, which is delivered digitally within 3–5 working days of the inspection. We know time is precious when purchasing a property, so we never sit on reports unnecessarily. You'll always know what to expect from us upfront.
Our new home snagging surveys cover a comprehensive inspection of your new build property — both inside and out. We check everything from paint finishes and fitting quality to structural elements, drainage, and building materials. We typically produce a detailed, photographic snagging list of 50–150 items for the average new build. This list is sent directly to your developer, who is legally required to rectify defects during the warranty period. We carry out new home snagging surveys across the whole of Basingstoke and Hampshire.
Yes — we are a RICS regulated company, and our surveyors hold individual RICS registration.
