RICS Home Surveys in Shoreham-by-Sea
Independent Level 2 and Level 3 Home Surveys for coastal, riverside and suburban property across Shoreham-by-Sea and the surrounding area.
Local, property-specific advice
Shoreham-by-Sea combines older terraces and cottages, inter-war houses, bungalows, converted properties, flats and modern riverside development. Coastal exposure, varied ground conditions, flat roofs, balconies and later extensions can create distinct inspection priorities.
Your survey is carried out personally by Steven Lewis AssocRICS, DipSurv, RICS Registered Valuer. The inspection and report are tailored to the property’s age, construction, condition and your particular concerns rather than relying on a generic checklist.
Level 2 or Level 3?
A RICS Level 2 Home Survey is generally suited to conventional properties in reasonable condition. It uses condition ratings to highlight defects, repairs and matters requiring further investigation.
A RICS Level 3 Building Survey provides more detailed analysis and is normally more appropriate for older, larger, altered, unusual or poorly maintained homes, or where significant renovation is planned.
Focused defect reports
Where the concern relates to a particular problem rather than the whole property, a focused defect report may be appropriate. Typical instructions include flat-roof defects, leaks from main roofs, cracking, dampness and condensation.
Reports are normally issued within three working days, and a verbal overview is provided following the inspection.
