What is the difference between a Level 2 and Level 3 survey?

A Level 2 survey is suited to many conventional properties in reasonable condition and gives you a clear overview of visible issues. A Level 3 survey is more detailed and is often better for older homes, altered properties, or buildings where you may expect more significant defects.

How long does it take to receive my survey report?

We deliver all of our surveys within 3 to 5 working days following the inspection. That gives you a clear timescale to work with if your purchase is moving quickly.

Can I speak to someone after reading the report?

Yes. We include a free telephone appointment after your survey report has been delivered. That gives you the chance to talk through the findings and understand what may need attention next.

Why a survey matters before exchange

An independent building inspection provides an objective assessment of a property before legal commitments become binding. Identifying issues early allows you to plan future repair budgets, raise essential queries with the vendor, or adjust your purchase offer if significant defects come to light. In Eccles, having a clear and practical assessment ensures you make every decision with complete confidence.
