Level 3 Building Survey in Chiswick
If you're buying an older property in Chiswick — particularly the Victorian and Edwardian terraces that line streets such as Grove Park Road, Barrowgate Road or the roads around Bedford Park — a Level 3 Building Survey is almost always the right choice.
This is the survey where we really get into the detail. We inspect everything from the condition of the roof and chimney stacks to the basement, foundations, walls, floors, windows and services. We look for movement, dampness, timber decay, structural issues, poor previous repairs and anything else that might affect the property's value or your ability to use it.
The result is a comprehensive, detailed report that tells you exactly what you're buying and what — if anything — needs attention. Case study: One of our clients, a professional buying a four-bedroom Victorian house near Chiswick Park station, received a Level 3 survey that identified significant subsidence movement in the rear addition. He was able to renegotiate a reduction of £40,000 on the purchase price.
