Get an instant estimate for your HomeBuyer Report or Building Survey.
A HomeBuyer Report (Level 2) uses a traffic-light rating system and is appropriate for conventional properties built after 1900 in reasonable condition. It costs £350–£650 and is delivered within 3–5 working days.
A Building Survey (Level 3) is a bespoke detailed inspection recommended for properties built before 1900, non-standard construction, properties with visible defects, or any property where you want maximum reassurance. It costs £500–£1,500 and is delivered within 5–7 working days.
Almost always yes. RICS research shows buyers who commissioned surveys saved an average of £5,750 through price renegotiations. A single undiscovered defect can cost £5,000–£30,000 to repair. The survey fee is modest insurance against these risks.
Property size is the primary driver. Age and construction complexity also affect the price — Victorian and Edwardian properties require more expertise. Location matters: London and South East surveyors charge more. Expedited turnaround adds to the fee.
