Severn Surveyors Ltd provides independent RICS Level 2 and Level 3 home surveys in Abingdon. If you are buying a property in Abingdon or the surrounding area, a professional survey can help identify significant defects, repair liabilities and areas requiring further investigation before you become legally committed to the purchase.
Abingdon includes older town property, later suburban housing and a wide range of homes in nearby villages and edge of town locations. The most suitable survey type will depend on the age, construction and apparent condition of the building together with the extent of any alterations.
A Level 2 survey is often suitable for more conventional residential property of standard construction that appears to be in reasonable condition and has not been heavily altered.
It identifies significant defects, urgent repair concerns and areas where additional investigation may be advisable.
A Level 3 survey is usually more appropriate for older homes, altered or extended buildings, non standard construction and property where condition appears poorer or more complex.
This provides a more detailed inspection and fuller advice on visible defects, construction and likely repair implications.

The most suitable survey depends on the age, construction, condition and complexity of the property. More conventional homes may be suited to a Level 2 survey, while older, altered, extended or non standard properties will often justify a Level 3 survey.
Can you inspect older and period property?
Yes. Older and more characterful property often benefits from a more detailed survey approach, particularly where there are concerns about dampness, movement, roofing defects, timber decay or previous alterations.
Do you cover areas around Abingdon as well?
Yes. Severn Surveyors Ltd also covers surrounding towns and villages, subject to location and availability.
