RICS Level 2 Survey
Our RICS Level 2 HomePlus survey provides a comprehensive digital report for standard properties. It identifies defects, maintenance issues, and valuation insights to help buyers negotiate prices and plan future costs. This interactive survey includes energy efficiency checks and is suitable for most modern homes.
RICS Level 3 Survey
Formerly called the Level 3 Building Survey, this detailed inspection suits older or uniquely constructed properties. It covers structural integrity, repair costs, and hidden defects. Ideal for pre-1850 buildings or properties with major alterations, providing technical analysis for informed renovation or purchase decisions.
Property Valuations
Independent RICS-compliant valuations for mortgage purposes, help-to-buy schemes, or private sales. Our surveyors assess market value using local expertise and national data. Services include remote valuations and desktop assessments for faster turnaround times without compromising accuracy.
Remote Valuation
Contactless property valuations using digital tools and local market data. This service combines desktop analysis with property-specific information to deliver accurate valuations quickly. Ideal for straightforward properties where physical access is limited or time-sensitive decisions are required.
Home Reports Scotland
Mandatory property reports for home sales in Scotland. Combines a survey, valuation, and energy report in one document. Helps buyers understand property condition and value while meeting Scottish legal requirements for residential transactions.
