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

The area has also seen a surge in contemporary architecture, with modern materials such as glass and steel being incorporated into new constructions.

Hackney presents a charming combination of historical and contemporary architectures. The area is home to a multitude of Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, constructed mainly from London stock bricks which were popular during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Newer developments tend to utilise energy-efficient building techniques and materials, reflecting the area’s growing focus on sustainability.

Canary Wharf

As the financial hub, Canary Wharf is dominated by high-rise office buildings and luxury apartments. The construction here spans from the late 20th century to the present, featuring advanced engineering techniques including steel frame structures and glass curtain walling, which provide both aesthetic appeal and functional performance. These buildings are designed to meet high standards of energy efficiency and sustainability.

Stratford has undergone significant regeneration since the 2012 Olympics. The area features a mix of residential, commercial, and public buildings, incorporating modern construction technologies.

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.
