A valuation is not typically included as standard with a Level 3 survey, but it can often be added as an optional extra service if you require it.

The surveyor will undertake a more extensive inspection than other levels, visually inspecting accessible concealed areas such as roof spaces and cellars, if it is safe to do so without causing damage.

Absolutely. This detailed report provides crucial information on the property’s structure and condition, which is invaluable for planning major renovation works and budgeting for potential costs.
Is a Level 3 survey worth the cost for an old property?
