Kidderminster contains a broad range of housing stock including Victorian terraces, post war housing, more modern estates and village edge property in the surrounding area. The age and condition of the building will often determine the most appropriate survey level.

Level 2 Survey

A Level 2 survey is commonly suitable for more conventional residential properties of standard construction which appear to be in reasonable condition.

It identifies material defects, urgent repairs and matters that may affect your decision to proceed or renegotiate before exchange of contracts.

Level 3 Survey

A Level 3 survey is generally recommended for older property, homes that have been altered or extended, non standard construction and buildings where more significant repair issues may be present.

It provides more detailed commentary on construction, visible defects and the likely implications of repairs and maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Which survey is usually more suitable?

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 Kidderminster as well?

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