Condition ratings

The condition rating system is designed to simplify and summarise complex and detailed reports, making them more accessible to laypersons. By using a straightforward rating scale, the system highlights the key findings and necessary actions in a clear and concise manner. This approach ensures that individuals without technical expertise can easily understand the overall condition of a property and the urgency of any required remedial works.

No repair is urgently needed. The property must be maintained in the normal way.

Defects that need repairing or replacing but are not considered to be either serious or urgent

Defects that are serious and/or need to be repaired, replaced or investigated urgently

Not inspected

What is included?

The RICS Level 3 Survey, also known as a Building Survey, is the most detailed and comprehensive of the RICS surveys. It provides an extensive analysis of a property's condition, covering all accessible areas. This survey is particularly suitable for older properties, those that have undergone significant alterations, or homes of an unusual design.

The survey includes:

  • A thorough examination of the building's structure, detailing defects, potential problems, and the need for any repair or maintenance.
  • An assessment of the condition of the building’s fabric, including walls, roofs, floors, windows, and doors.
  • Inspection of all fixed services such as heating, plumbing, drainage, and electrics, although a separate specialist report may be recommended for detailed analysis.
  • Identification of any significant risks associated with the building, including any evidence of damp, timber decay, or structural movement.

The Level 3 Survey provides detailed advice on the necessary remedial works and ongoing maintenance required to preserve the property. The report is intended to inform prospective buyers

Exploring Blackheath - A Blend of Charm and Grandeur

Blackheath is renowned for its expansive heath and village-like ambiance, presenting a residential appeal that is both quaint and distinguished. Architecturally, the area boasts a considerable range of building styles, featuring Georgian and Victorian terraces. These buildings, often constructed during the 18th and 19th centuries, reflect classic construction methods of their times using traditional brickwork and ornate detailing. The area also includes pockets of 20th-century developments, typically seen in the detached and semi-detached houses dotting quieter lanes.

Westcombe Park - Suburban Appeal with Historic Insights

In the adjacent Westcombe Park, the setting alters subtly towards Edwardian and 1940s semi-detached houses, flaunting a slightly more recent historical layer than Blackheath. Construction from the Edwardian era frequently involves the use of red brick with characteristic decorative timber and tile details, while mid-20th-century buildings often employ more straightforward, functional designs reflecting post-war building needs and economic considerations. The result is a fascinating architectural variety that gives Westcombe Park its distinctive character.

The Fusion of Styles in the Heart of London's Suburbs

Both areas demonstrate an engaging blend of form and era, representing significant phases of British architectural heritage. This diversity not only enhances the visual appeal of Blackheath and Westcombe Park but also offers a rich field for technical study and conservation work. Understanding these construction trends is crucial for any building surveying and preservation enterprises, ensuring that the unique character and structural integrity of the properties are maintained for future generations.

Drone Roof Survey

Establishing the condition of your roof is crucial for safeguarding your property against potential deterioration and prolonging its lifespan. As RICS Chartered Surveyors, we offer professional drone roof survey services that deliver an in-depth and precise evaluation of your roof’s condition, without the necessity for expensive access equipment. Drone roof surveys can be added to any other survey, including Level 3 Surveys.

Advantages of a Drone Roof Survey

Opting for a drone roof survey provides several benefits compared to traditional inspection methods:

  • Safety: Drones remove the need for scaffolding or ladders, thereby reducing the hazards associated with conventional roof inspections.
  • Efficiency: Our drones are capable of swiftly capturing high-resolution imagery and video, allowing for the comprehensive coverage of extensive areas in a significantly reduced timeframe.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: By lessening the need for extensive equipment and manpower, drone surveys are typically more economical, especially for larger or more intricate roof structures.
  • Accuracy: Drones can reach areas that are otherwise difficult to access, providing detailed data that enhances the precision of condition assessments.
