Residential Surveys

Acquiring a property is usually the most significant financial investment one can make. Elevation Surveyors will ensure you are fully appraised to the highest possible level to proceed with confidence and peace of mind.

Elevation Surveyors provide a range of survey formats; however, we can tailor these to fit individual requirements. Our principle categories are as follows…

Intermediate Survey Report (ISR)

This service is delivered in accordance with the Home survey standard (1st edition) RICS professional statement and is equivalent to the level 2. In addition, this service has the following particular features: The internal areas are inspected on a room by room basis, allowing for a greater focus on particular issues which may be local to that particular room only, rather than grouping all ceilings/walls in two headings as per the RICS reports.

Advanced Survey Report (ASR)

This service is delivered in accordance with the Home survey standard (1st edition) RICS professional statement and has been developed to exceed the information contained in a Level 3. Extensive explanation is offered and detailed comment on the maintenance requirements of the property. Observation of the external elements of the property is with the assistance of a drone, (subject to any local restrictions), and photographic evidence of such included in the report.

Working Together

Elevation Surveyors aim to make our reports comprehensive and easy to understand, rather than just a list of defects. We consider that a residential survey report should be as much about providing reassurance to the prospective purchaser as it is on reporting on disrepair.

Many older buildings have inherent defects, which have been there since construction or developed as a result of how they are built. Recognising these issues, and putting them in context allows the client to purchase with confidence.
