RICS Level 3 Survey from Cooper Davies Surveying
RICS Level 3 Building Survey
Our RICS Level 3 Surveys are intended for purchasers from Weston-Super-Mare to Wells, and Bridgwater to Portishead, who require a detailed understanding of a property’s construction and condition. They are particularly suitable for buildings where defects may not be immediately apparent, providing thorough inspection findings and clear, practical advice to support informed decision-making.


What's included in a Level 3 Survey?

Comprehensive inspection of structure and fabric
Detailed inspection of all visible and accessible elements, including walls, roofs, floors and structural components, with commentary on construction type, condition and performance.

Defects, deterioration and building pathology
Identification and analysis of defects such as dampness, timber decay, movement and material failure, with explanation of likely causes and implications.

Services, safety and compliance considerations
Commentary on visible services installations (electrical, gas, heating, drainage), highlighting safety concerns, limitations of inspection and further investigation where appropriate.

Repair priorities, risks and future maintenance
Clear advice on urgency, repair sequencing and foreseeable maintenance liabilities, tailored to the age, construction and condition of the property.

Photographic evidence and detailed narrative findings
Extensive photographic records supported by detailed written commentary, enabling a clear understanding of condition, defects and recommended actions.
What We're Known For

Thorough, Unrushed Surveys
We carry out one survey per day as standard, allowing time for a detailed inspection without cutting corners. Roof-level inspections using camera poles are included wherever possible, reducing assumptions and providing clearer, more reliable advice.

Clear Reports, Fast Turnaround
Our focused approach means that a level 2 report is normally issued within 2-4 working days (versus the industry standard of 10). You get clear, practical findings quickly—so you can negotiate, plan next steps, or proceed with confidence.

No Upfront Fees
Our fee is only due once your survey is complete and your report has been delivered. No deposits, no pressure; just transparent pricing and a service that stands on its quality.

Cooper Davies is a RICS regulated firm (Registered Number 898153). This enables us to provide our clients with a certified level of expertise and confidence that our professional advice will guide you through the complexities property sector.

Ben was brilliant from start to finish, very friendly chap and informative with the survey on the house we were buying. He even went above and beyond with finding out about other information in regards to communal parking that I didn't expect from the survey which was great.
