Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a Level 2 and Level 3 survey?
A Level 2 (HomeBuyer Report) is suitable for conventional properties in reasonable condition. It highlights defects but doesn't go into deep structural detail. A Level 3 (Building Survey) is far more comprehensive — it's designed for older, listed, or dilapidated properties (including many period homes in Guildford's conservation areas, Godalming, and the Surrey Hills), provides in-depth analysis, repair options, and cost guidance.
How long does a survey take?
On-site inspection typically takes 2-4 hours depending on property size and complexity. You'll receive your full report within 3 to 5 working days after the inspection.
Do I need a survey for a new-build home in Guildford?
Yes — even new builds can have defects. A Level 1 Condition Report or a snagging survey can identify issues before you move in, giving you leverage with the developer.
What areas do you cover around Guildford?
We cover Guildford town centre, Godalming, Woking, Farnham, Haslemere, Cranleigh, Shere, Bramley, Albury, Ripley, Burpham, and across the Surrey Hills. Contact us for other Surrey postcodes.
