Tell us a few details and we will confirm the most suitable survey and fixed fee.
Level 2 surveys from £475, Level 3 surveys from £650, subject to the property details.
Usually suited to more conventional houses, flats and bungalows of standard construction that appear to be in reasonable condition.
Generally recommended for older, altered, extended, larger or non standard properties, or where significant works are planned.
Included where suitable and weather permitting, helping improve visibility of roofs, chimneys and other high level elements.
Issues vary from property to property, but surveys regularly pick up defects that are easy to miss during a standard viewing.
Steeply sloping roofs, loose coverings, worn flashings, ageing felt and chimney defects can all lead to water ingress and repair costs, particularly with older Malvern housing.
Hillside plots, high external ground levels, poor surface water control, blocked rainwater goods and limited ventilation can all contribute to moisture related problems.
Retaining structures, extensions, converted accommodation and ageing services can have a significant effect on repair priorities, safety and long term costs.
We regularly cover Malvern and surrounding locations, helping buyers with clear reporting and practical advice.
