Frequently Asked Questions
What is a RICS Home Survey?
A RICS Home Survey is a detailed inspection of a property carried out by a qualified Building Surveyor. It identifies defects, potential issues, and areas needing maintenance so you can make an informed decision before purchasing. Morguard provides both Level 2 and Level 3 Home Surveys across London and the South East.
What’s the difference between a Level 2 and Level 3 survey?
A Level 2 Survey is suitable for modern properties in generally good condition. It highlights visible defects and provides a clear overview.
A Level 3 Survey is more comprehensive and ideal for older, larger, or non-standard properties. It includes in-depth analysis, repair advice, and estimated remedial costs.
How long does a survey take?
Our surveyors typically spend 2–3 hours on-site for a Level 2 Survey and longer for a Level 3 Survey, depending on the property’s size and complexity. Reports are usually delivered within 4 working days.
How much does a Home Survey cost?
Survey costs depend on the property’s age, size, and condition.
- Level 2 Surveys start from £700
- Level 3 Surveys start from £780
