Commonly Asked Questions:


What type of house survey do I need?

Before having your house surveyed, it will help to understand what it is that you're hoping to learn about a property during the process. With this information, one of our talented chartered surveyors in Nottinghamshire will be able to recommend the most appropriate RICS survey level for you. There are three surveys available, each providing a different level of detail.

RICS Level 3 Chartered Surveyor in Nottinghamshire

If you're looking to have an older building surveyed, or maybe even an apartment or flat with shared spaces inspected, a RICS Level 3 property surveyor in Nottinghamshire is most likely to be perfect for you. As the most thorough of the survey levels, a Level 3 surveyor tends to be recommended for buildings built before 1900 that may have been built using more traditional and unconventional methods. You can expect a Level 3 survey to look into issues like clay soil, subsidence and more.

RICS Level 2 Surveyors in Nottinghamshire

A Homebuyers Survey, or RICS Level 2 survey,  is ideal for those interested in Nottinghamshire's residential properties built anywhere after 1900. Designed to inspect the structural integrity and general condition of a home, a Level 2 survey can be relied on to highlight a whole number of defects within a property. Your RICS surveyor in Nottinghamshire may bring your attention to issues with the roof, flooding, electricals and more.

Property Valuation in Nottinghamshire

A Property Valuation exists to detail how much a property is worth. It doesn't matter whether you're buying or selling, a Property Valuation can be trusted to offer you an idea of the real value of a property in Nottinghamshire. This survey may not be for you, however, if you're looking to find out about any defects that exist within your property.

How much does a survey cost in Nottinghamshire?

Depending on the service that you require and your property's size and value, the cost of house surveys in Nottinghamshire can differ. Let us know what type of survey you need for your property and receive either a Property Valuation Quote, a RICS Level 2 Survey Quote or a RICS Level 3 Survey Quote.

Will a chartered surveyor in Nottinghamshire check for issues with stone built properties?

Nottinghamshire's locally quarried stone may be more susceptible to specific issues. Issues which impact the lifespan of stone-built elements are as diverse as the stone varieties themselves. 

Stone will also decay as a result of environmental conditions, for example, granite is more water-resistant than most other stones. Upkeep advice often given by a surveyor in Nottinghamshire often includes repointing loose or crumbling mortar


Will a property survey in Nottinghamshire show if asbestos is present?

A building survey in Nottinghamshire will not be able to confirm whether asbestos is present, but the surveyor will note any possibility of the fibre's use and advise where further investigation is required. 


Where asbestos is found, it must be removed by professionals who are licensed by the Health & Safety Executive.


What survey should I instruct for an older property in Nottinghamshire?

The method of construction used in a property may dictate which kind of survey you choose for your property in Nottinghamshire. Nottinghamshire has plenty of older properties, built using traditional methods and materials which may have defects that could go unnoticed without a survey.


 When you instruct a Nottinghamshire RICS chartered surveyor through Surveyor Local, you get the opportunity to discuss whether the property you intend to buy has any specific issues related to its age or construction type. The surveyor can advise on what survey would best suit your circumstances.


Does a chartered surveyor in Nottinghamshire look at the safety of the wiring?

Whether carrying out a Homebuyer Report (RICS Level 2) or a Building Survey (RICS Level 3), chartered surveyors in Nottinghamshire will look at the condition of the electrics, including an overview of the fuse board, its age and condition, any visible wiring, plus electrical fittings such as showers and light fittings. If the electrics are in an unsatisfactory or dangerous state of repair, the surveyor will highlight this in their subsequent report.


Will surveyors in Nottinghamshire be able to advise on issues with clay-soil foundations?

Soil composition can have a great impact on a home. Evidence of clay soil-related problems can sometimes be found throughout a structure. For example, warping of floorboards may be benign, or a clue prompting a more thorough investigation. A Nottinghamshire surveyor will take into account clay soil related concerns and advise accordingly.


Will surveyors in Nottinghamshire check for signs of flooding?

The county of Nottinghamshire has several rivers running through its many towns. Properties within a close proximity to these rivers may face flood warnings on occasion, particularly during the rainier times of the year. Your RICS surveyors in Nottinghamshire may use several methods to determine if the property in question is in danger. In addition, the Homebuyers Survey may advise on urgent repairs. The Homebuyers Survey will also include details of any evidence of historical flooding and may comment generally about the area's propensity to flood. The house surveyor may ask the property owner or occupier if the house has previously flooded.
