The RICS Home Survey - Level 3 (previously known as the full structural survey or Building Survey) is the most thorough and comprehensive inspection and detailed report offered by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
It is normally carried out on large, older or run-down properties. Properties that have undergone conversion or significant alteration where more specialist and tailored advice is required. It can however be undertaken if a client so wishes, on any age, type or style of property.
With Lockwood Chartered Surveyors you can be sure you are in a trusted, experienced and professional pair of hands. Clients describe our Level 3 Reports as thorough, personalised, extensive in detail, tailored to our particular needs, invaluable, better than those 'off the peg offerings' and our after care service as being generous with time and polite.
This survey provides an extensive, in-depth analysis of the property’s condition and includes advice on significant defects, readily apparent potential hazards, repair and maintenance options. It does this by using a ‘traffic light’ condition rating system.

James WhiteleyI felt like Mr Lockwood went above and beyond throughout the survey process. He saved me a lot of time, and potentially wasted money, by correcting me on the type of survey I needed. Mr Lockwood was extremely thorough in his report and ALWAYS answered any call or got right back to me if he was unable to do so. I really felt he was extremely supportive in a delicate matter. You get what you pay for with Lockwood surveys. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Alex Garcia WylieWe recently used Lockwood Chartered Surveyors, and I was very impressed with the service provided by Andrew. He was extremely responsive from the outset and proactive in addressing my initial enquiry. The survey was conducted promptly, within the agreed timeline, and the resulting report was detailed and comprehensive. Andrew was also very accommodating to my specific timeline requirements and took the time to clearly answer all of my questions. I found the entire process to be efficient and professional, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services.
Graeme BrookeAndrew fitted a valuation survey at relatively short notice. He arrived on time and did a first class job in turning the report around for me. I was happy with the valuation & justifications. Any questions pre & post survey were turned around in a prompt & efficient manner too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use again in the future.
Lewis HoskinsWe used Lockwood chartered surveyors for our RICS help to buy valuation and I highly recommend. Andrew was quick to respond and talked us through the process. Thank you for providing a great service.

The whole process was really smooth. We went for a Level 3 Survey with the additional drone/raised camera package. The level of detail in the survey was excellent, and highlighted some issues that we were unaware of. Thank you very much!
