Our Services :
RICS Homebuyers Survey (Level 1).
A RICS Level 1 Home Survey, previously called a ‘Condition Report’, describes the condition of the property, identifies any risks and potential legal issues, and highlights any urgent defects. Typically the lowest-priced survey, it is aimed at conventional properties and newer homes. It will note defects in the property but will generally not provide advice on how to manage those defects. Choose an RICS Level 1 Home Survey if you’re buying a conventional house, flat or bungalow built from common building materials and in good condition.
What’s included in Level 1 Home survey (Level 1):
✓ Describes the construction and condition of the property on the date of the inspection, noting potential issues and visible defects before any transaction takes place
✓ Identifies any problems the surveyor can see that are serious or that need urgent attention, and/or things that need to be investigated further to prevent serious damage
✓ Includes the standard visual inspection, which for Level 1 and 2 does not remove secured panels, electrical fittings, inspection chamber covers and other similar features
RICS Homebuyers Survey (Level 2). Our most popular report.
Previously called a ‘Home Buyer Report’ or ‘Home Buyers' Survey’, an RICS Level 2 Home Survey is most suitable for conventional properties around Blackpool that are in reasonable condition and are simple in form and layout (for example, a property that does not have multiple alterations or extensions). This survey gives you more detailed information about the property, and ideas about future repairs or maintenance that may be required.

Why Use A Surveyor Near Me? If a surveyor has to travel a long way to Blackpool then it is likely the price you pay will be higher than it will be if you use our Local Property Survey Service.
What are Property Survey Prices in Blackpool? Survey prices can vary greatly depending on many factors. Travel time and fuel costs are important factors which can affect the cost of your survey. Using my local surveyor service means no extra time and travel costs are added to the price of your property survey.
Am I booking direct or through a panel? A 'panel' is a service which advertises property survey services but does not actually provide the survey themselves. They are usually a booking service which adds a middleman fee to the price you pay to cover their costs, they will then pass the booking on to a local surveyor to Blackpool at a reduced rate which means you have paid an unnecessary booking fee.
When you call us you are dealing direct which means no added booking fees.
