Severn Surveyors Ltd provides independent RICS Level 2 and Level 3 home surveys in Cirencester. If you are buying a property in Cirencester 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.
Cirencester includes Georgian and Victorian property, Cotswold stone homes, later suburban development and village property across the surrounding area. Older buildings and more characterful homes often justify a more detailed survey approach because of their age, construction and maintenance needs.
A Level 2 survey is often suitable for more conventional homes of standard construction that appear to be in reasonable condition and have not been heavily altered.
The report highlights significant defects, urgent repair issues and matters that may affect your decision to proceed.
A Level 3 survey is usually the better option for older property, altered or extended homes, Cotswold stone buildings and properties where hidden repair liabilities may be greater.
It provides more detailed commentary on construction, visible defects, likely maintenance priorities and repair implications.
Severn Surveyors Ltd is an independent RICS regulated firm providing clear, practical advice to homebuyers. Surveys are intended to help you understand the condition of the property, highlight significant repair issues and make better informed decisions before exchange of contracts.
Where suitable and weather permitting, inspections may also include the use of a drone to view higher level roofing elements that may otherwise be difficult to inspect clearly from the ground.

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 Cirencester as well?
Yes. Severn Surveyors Ltd also covers surrounding towns and villages, subject to location and availability.
