Question
We are looking to buy a grade 2 listed property built in 1840. What type of survey would you recommend?
Answer
As this is a Grade II listed building then the survey type for this kind of property is a Level 3 Building Survey report, the RICS Homebuyer Level 2 report being more suited for non-listed buildings. This is, at least in part, due to the fact that a listed building has potentially higher repair/maintenance costs and that having such a designation can also severely restrict works that a buyer may wish to undertake.

The company arranged a speedy appointment. The survey was thorough and excellent in quality. The report was written and sent very quickly. The whole process was easy and done very professionally. We were completely happy with the company and the quality of the report. I cannot recommend more highly.
