What is a Full Structural Survey?
A full structural survey is the same as a Level 3 Building Survey, the highest level of survey you can get into the condition of your property. By completing a structural survey, you can easily identify where there may be any extra costs necessary to fix potential problems for your building.
A completed survey will provide you with a thorough report regarding various aspects of your building’s structure and any repairs or maintenance that may be required. This way you can anticipate upcoming costs and adjust your financial planning as needed. A full structural survey can be especially beneficial for homebuyers interested in learning about the condition of their new home. By completing a structural survey, it may provide the opportunity for greater flexibility on the price of a new home, or it may convince you to look elsewhere. Either way, it is better to be informed than surprised by hidden problems, which can be costly.

How Much is a Structural Survey?

How Long Does a Structural Survey Take?
As a structural survey takes a comprehensive look at the condition of your property, the survey itself will usually last between 6-8 hours. The size and condition of your building will ultimately dictate the length of time it takes our chartered surveyors to complete the survey.
Will a Structural Survey Look at Damp?
During a structural survey, our structural engineers will thoroughly assess all the structural elements of your property. This covers any defects that may affect safety, stability or value, including foundational issues, problems with cracks and damp or rot. Conduct a thorough review of any damp in your property with a damp survey.
Does a Structural Survey Look at Subsidence?
A thorough review of your building’s structure during a full survey will identify any areas of concern regarding your property’s structural soundness, damage, foundation problems, and subsidence.
