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

Key Areas in Hammersmith

Hammersmith is a dynamic area in West London, known for its vibrant atmosphere and cultural diversity. Key locales include the bustling Hammersmith Broadway, serene Riverside, and the historic Brook Green.

Architectural Overview

Architecturally, Hammersmith boasts a mix of Victorian terraces, modernist office buildings, and contemporary residential blocks. Victorian homes, often built in the late 19th century, are typically constructed with London stock bricks, and feature sash windows and detailed stonework. The area also features a significant number of 20th-century buildings, particularly from the post-war era, using concrete and glass as primary materials, reflecting the modernist architectural movement. More recent developments have embraced sustainable construction techniques, incorporating energy-efficient materials and green roofing systems.

Construction Techniques and Development

Historically, construction in Hammersmith has evolved from the brick-built Victorian homes to more modern steel and glass structures. The use of reinforced concrete became prevalent in the 20th century, allowing for the creation of the area's notable office buildings and apartment complexes. In recent years, there has been a focus on sustainability, with new developments often featuring technologies such as solar panels, heat pumps, and advanced insulation materials to reduce environmental impact.

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.
