Residential Property Surveys (Level 2 & Level 3)
Buying a home is likely the biggest financial commitment you will ever make. Our professional Level 2 and Level 3 Residential Property Surveys give you a clear, unbiased look beneath the surface of a property before you sign the contract. We thoroughly inspect the building’s structure to uncover hidden defects, maintenance issues, or urgent repairs that might not be visible during a casual viewing.
How You Benefit
Total Peace of Mind: Proceed with your purchase confidently, knowing exactly what you are buying and what future maintenance to plan for.
Avoid Expensive Surprises: Uncover hidden issues like structural damp, subsidence, or roofing issues before they become your costly problems to fix.
Powerful Negotiating Leverage: If our survey reveals required repairs, you can use the official report to negotiate the price with the seller or request that they fix the issues before completion.
Clear Choice Guidance:
Level 2 Survey: Ideal for standard, modern homes in reasonable condition.
Level 3 Survey: A deep-dive structural assessment perfect for older, altered, or larger properties.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
Whether you are selling a home, leasing a commercial unit, or finishing a new build, an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement. Our accredited assessors evaluate your property’s heating, insulation, and lighting to deliver an official A-to-G energy rating.
How You Benefit
- Legal Compliance: Secure the mandatory certificates required to put your property on the market or legally lease it to tenants.
- Identify Cost-Saving Upgrades: Every certificate comes with tailored recommendations to improve your property’s efficiency, helping you (or your tenants) lower utility bills.
- Boost Property Value: A high EPC rating makes your property significantly more attractive to modern, eco-conscious buyers and renters
SAP Calculations
Standard Assessment Procedure for New Builds & Conversions
If you are constructing a new residential property or planning a major conversion, a standard EPC isn’t enough. You need SAP Calculations to prove your design complies with current Building Regulations (Part L). We assess your blueprints and material specifications before construction starts to ensure your build is on track for approval.
How You Benefit
- Pass Building Control First Time: Avoid costly, stressful rebuilds by identifying energy compliance issues on paper before any physical construction begins.
- Optimise Your Materials: Receive expert advice on the most cost-effective combinations of insulation, glazing, and heating systems to hit your compliance targets.
- Seamless On-Construction EPCs: Because we handle the initial SAP design, we can quickly generate your final On-Construction EPC once the build is complete.
Additional Property Services
Beyond our core surveys and energy assessments, we provide a suite of specialist services to keep landlords, developers, and homeowners fully compliant, prepared, and legally protected.
EPC Improvement Evaluator: What Does the Tool Actually Do?
When a standard EPC is generated, it gives a generic list of recommendations. The Improvement Evaluator takes that data further by allowing the assessor to:
- Create Custom “What-If” Scenarios: Instead of assuming a client will install every single recommendation, you can model specific combinations (e.g., “What happens if we only do the cavity wall insulation and a heat pump, but skip the solar panels?”).
- Calculate Real-Time Impact: It instantly shows the cumulative impact that chosen upgrades will have on the property’s Energy Rating (SAP points), CO2 emissions, and annual fuel bill savings.
- Input Realistic Costs: Assessors can override generic software estimates with exact, real-world quotes from local contractors to ensure the financial payback projections are highly accurate.
- Model Alternative Technologies: Allows the integration of modern, less common upgrades like air/ground source heat pumps or biomass boilers that might not have triggered automatically on a basic RdSAP report.
Inventories (for the Lettings Market)
- What it is: Highly detailed, photographic records of your property’s condition and contents at check-in, mid term and check-out.
- The Benefit: Secure Your Deposit Disputes. Clear, independent inventory reports protect both landlords and tenants, making deposit disputes quick and easy to resolve at the end of a tenancy.
Legionella Risk Assessments
- What it is: A comprehensive evaluation of your property’s water systems to identify and manage the risk of Legionella bacteria.
- The Benefit: Full Legal Compliance & Safety. Landlords and business owners have a legal duty to ensure water safety. Our assessments keep you fully compliant with health and safety regulations while protecting your tenants.
Professional Floor Plans
- What it is: High-definition, accurate 2D and 3D layout designs of your property.
- The Benefit: Maximise Property Interest. High-quality floor plans are the most requested feature by online house hunters. They instantly help buyers and renters visualise the space, leading to more inquiries and faster viewings.
Home Insight Survey
The Home Insight Survey (HIS) is a new survey product that is intended to be commissioned by a property seller, and which can be relied upon by the seller, a prospective buyer, and a successful buyer. It has been created to provide important information for sellers, buyers, estate agents and conveyancers.
