RICS Building Surveys in Liverpool

A RICS building survey is the most comprehensive type of property inspection available, providing a detailed analysis of both the structure and condition of a building. At Bemerton Consulting, our RICS Chartered Building Surveyors in Liverpool carry out Level 3 building surveys for residential and commercial properties across Merseyside and the North West.

Residential Building Surveys

If you are a prospective purchaser and need a building survey, we can help. We carry out thorough inspections and prepare detailed reports outlining any problems we find, in accordance with RICS regulations. Homebuyers generally commission a survey after their offer has been accepted by the seller.

At Bemerton, we carry out Level 3 RICS Building Surveys (Full Structural Survey). This is the most thorough survey available and provides a detailed analysis of both the property's structure and condition. A Level 3 building survey is particularly recommended if you are buying a property that is older, of unusual design, in poor condition, or if you are planning significant renovation work.

The report identifies any defects and advises on repairs and maintenance. We also assist with projected costs and timings for any repair work recommended in the report, helping you make an informed purchasing decision.

Commercial Building Surveys

We have an experienced team of Chartered Building Surveyors who represent commercial investors, landlords and prospective occupiers. Our commercial building surveys provide reasoned and pragmatic advice to support due diligence processes for acquisitions, disposals and ongoing asset management.

We prioritise any issues identified, provide suitable remedies, and advise on ongoing liabilities throughout a building's lifecycle. Our commercial survey reports are trusted by property professionals across Liverpool, Merseyside and the North West.

What Does a Building Survey Include?

Our RICS Level 3 building surveys include a detailed inspection of all accessible parts of the property, covering the roof structure and coverings, walls, floors, windows and doors, drainage, electrical and plumbing installations, and the surrounding grounds. The report provides clear guidance on the urgency and estimated cost of any remedial works required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Level 3 RICS building survey?

A Level 3 RICS building survey is the most detailed and comprehensive property survey available. It provides an in-depth analysis of the property's construction, condition and any defects, along with advice on repairs, maintenance, and the potential consequences of not addressing issues. It is the recommended survey type for older properties, listed buildings, properties of unusual construction, or where major renovation is planned.

Do I need a building survey?

A building survey is strongly recommended before purchasing any property, particularly if the building is older than 50 years, has an unusual design, appears to be in poor condition, or if you plan significant alterations. The cost of a survey is minimal compared to the potential cost of undiscovered defects, and our reports regularly save clients thousands of pounds.
