Surveys explained

Mortgage valuation

Done for your lender to check the property is worth what they’re lending. It isn’t a survey.

Level 1 survey

A basic condition report, suited to newer, conventional homes in good condition.

Level 2 survey

The most common choice. Flags visible defects and issues needing attention.

Level 3 building survey

The most detailed. For older, larger, altered or unusual properties.

When a survey helps

Almost always worth it, especially for older homes or anything that’s been extended.

If problems are found

Get repair quotes, then ask for repairs or renegotiate the price before exchange.
