Buying a property or arranging a survey can raise plenty of questions, particularly if you are unsure which type of survey you need, what the inspection covers, or what happens after the survey has been completed.

Our Property Survey FAQs provide helpful information about the surveying services offered by 4Sight Surveying, including RICS Level 2 Home Surveys, RICS Level 3 Building Surveys, RICS Red Book Valuations, Specific Defect Surveys, Damp & Timber Surveys, new-build snagging surveys and drone roof inspections.

You can find answers to common questions about choosing between a Level 2 and Level 3 survey, how long a property inspection takes, when you can expect to receive your survey report, what areas of the property are inspected, whether loft spaces and roofs are checked, and how defects identified during a survey are reported.
