Residential Surveys Manchester.

At Fourth Wall, we have a team of surveyors in Manchester who make understanding your home easier. Our property surveys cover the entire lifecycle of buying and renting a property, from level 2 and 3 homebuyer surveys, to snagging surveys, to party wall agreements, and much more. With jargon-free reports, honest advice, and a friendly team to work with, you won’t find a better experience elsewhere.

RICS Home Survey Level 3

For an extensive inspection of your property, choose our RICS level 3 full building survey. Unlike a RICS level 2 survey, the RICS level 3 survey will provide you with detailed remedial and repair advice, along with budget costs for issues identified and photographs throughout the report.

RICS Home Survey Level 2

A level 2 homebuyer report is ideal for those of you who own a modern property that is in reasonable condition. Our team will visually inspect your home, giving you an overview of your property’s structural condition, and highlighting any issues that should be addressed in the near future.

Snagging Surveys

If you’re purchasing a new build property, we’d recommend our snag service to ensure that your home is up to scratch, and issues are detected before you move in. We’ll check every detail, from cosmetic issues, to large (and expensive!) structural problems. Our team can help you understand if the workmanship is up to standard and compliant with regulations, whilst helping you to resolve and advise on any issues that we might find.

Party Wall Matters

We work with you from the beginning to minimise party wall risks, guide you through the design stage, and manage any disputes to help you reach the desired result and move forward with your building project. Trustworthy, early advice can help you to avoid time, money, and most importantly, upset neighbours!

Architectural Services

Whether you’re adding an extension, doing a complete renovation, or building something new, our knowledgeable team will work with you to create your ideal space whilst protecting and respecting the history of your property. Every project and every client is different, so we’ll design a space to suit you, whilst working to your needs, budgets and goals.

Our team can give you peace of mind that the lease is appropriately benchmarked against the condition of the property, protecting your assets against future dilapidations or damages claims.

Dilapidations

Years of experience means we are able to advise on both your and your tenant’s liabilities under a commercial lease. We provide advice on timescales, risks and costs, ensuring you’re equipped with thorough knowledge about your property.

We’ll help you plan and prioritise tasks, costs and appraisals, to ensure you’re prepared at every stage. With our help you can get a clear idea of future building costs and plans, giving you a better understanding of what’s to come and what you might need to prepare for. Our team understands that each project is different to the next, which is why we offer a flexible planned maintenance service, tailored to your specific needs.

Building Reinstatement Cost Assessments

We have experience working on buildings, projects and spaces of all sizes and values so we can make sure you’re insured at the right level. Whether you’re buying a commercial or residential building, our building reinstatement cost assessments, or building insurance valuations, give you peace of mind that your assets are covered in the worst-case scenario. You should have RCAs carried out every three years, or after major renovations on your property.

How much does a building survey cost in Manchester?

Due to the uniqueness of each building in Manchester, we don’t have a set price for each survey. The price of your survey will depend on the size of your property, the features of the property, and if your property is a listed or protected building. For a standard building survey in Manchester, prices start at £400. Use our instant quote form or contact our team for a more detailed quotation.

How do I choose a building surveyor?

To choose the perfect surveyor in Manchester, we’d recommend choosing someone local. A local surveyor will have extensive knowledge of your area and property professionals within it, which is particularly helpful if you’re a first-time buyer, or you’re looking for a unique off-market property. You should also choose a surveyor who is certified by RICS, like Fourth Wall Building Consultancy. In fact, our Lead Director won ‘Young Building Surveyor of the Year’ in 2022!
