Why You Need a Professional Property Survey
Your Mortgage Valuation Isn’t Protecting You
Most buyers don't realise that mortgage valuations are for the lender's benefit, not yours. Many lenders no longer even send surveyors to inspect properties. Without a proper RICS survey, you're purchasing blind - risking thousands in hidden defects and missed negotiation opportunities.

RICS Property Surveys from Arnold & Baldwin
RICS Level 3 Building Survey
The Most Comprehensive Protection for Your Investment
Our Level 3 Building Survey provides an extensive, forensic examination of the property’s condition. This is our most detailed survey, essential for older properties, listed buildings, properties requiring renovation, and high-value investments where thorough due diligence is critical.
What You Receive:
A comprehensive report covering detailed analysis of all accessible areas including lofts, cellars, and outbuildings. Your surveyor provides in-depth defect diagnosis with repair cost guidance, maintenance planning for budget forecasting, and technical advice on any alterations or improvements you’re considering. The report includes a special section for your solicitor, highlighting legal concerns and queries to raise with the vendor.

RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer Report
Our Most Popular Survey – Perfect for Most Residential Properties
The Level 2 HomeBuyer Report delivers professional insight in an accessible format, perfect for traditional family homes in reasonable condition. This survey suits properties built after 1960 with conventional construction, standard purchases where major works aren’t planned, and is particularly valuable for first-time buyers needing clear guidance.
What You Receive:
A systematic inspection report using an easy-to-understand traffic light rating system. Your surveyor identifies urgent repairs, serious defects, and any issues requiring further investigation. The report provides clear priorities for action and, if requested, includes a market valuation and insurance rebuild cost assessment to ensure you’re fully informed about your investment.
