Two depths.
One right fit.
Choose for the building, not just its appearance. Its construction, condition, previous alterations and your plans matter more than fresh décor. Level 3 is not automatically the right choice for every home.

A USEFUL RULE
Altered, complex or causing concern?
Tell the practice about extensions, loft conversions, visible defects and any major work you are planning. These can make Level 3 appropriate. A conventional home in reasonable condition may suit Level 2. Neither level guarantees the condition of concealed timbers or inaccessible spaces.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Before you ask.
01Should I get a Level 2 or Level 3 survey?+
Choose Level 2 for a conventional home in reasonable condition. Choose Level 3 where the building is older, altered, unusual, visibly defective or needs the causes of problems explained in more detail.
02Is a Level 3 survey always better than a Level 2 survey?+
No. Level 3 gives a deeper analysis, but it is not automatically better value for a conventional, apparently sound home. The useful scope is the one that matches the building.
03What is the price difference between Level 2 and Level 3?+
Level 3 takes more time and provides greater diagnostic detail, so it costs more. SurveyChoice publishes both fixed-price registers and calculates the exact total before asking for contact details.
04Can I choose a different survey level after using the checker?+
Yes. The checker is guidance, not a restriction. You can compare both scopes and choose either level when requesting your fixed price.
