Your Local Building Surveyors in Painswick

As local RICS building surveyors, we know the Painswick property market inside and out. Our team combines expertise with local insight, identifying issues that may be unique to the Cotswold stone architecture, conservation zones, or older building types found in this beautiful area.

RICS Level 2 Building Survey

If the property you’re buying is relatively new or appears to be in good overall condition, a Level 2 survey is often the right fit.

Our RICS Level 2 building survey provides a clear overview of the property’s visible condition and highlights any urgent issues you should be aware of before proceeding with your purchase.

Your Level 2 report will include:

• A detailed inspection of the property’s main elements; walls, roof, floors, windows, and more
• Identification of visible defects such as cracking, dampness, or structural movement
• Professional advice on necessary repairs or potential maintenance
• Observations on services like plumbing, heating, and electrical installations
• An independent market valuation and repair cost estimates (if required)

At Cornerstone Surveyors, we ensure that every Level 2 survey follows RICS standards, giving you an expert, impartial assessment you can trust.

RICS Level 3 Building Survey

If you’re buying an older home, listed building, or property that may need repair or alteration, a Level 3 building survey (formerly known as a Structural Survey) provides the depth of information you need.

Our RICS Level 3 survey is the most detailed inspection available, offering an in-depth look at both visible and concealed elements of the structure. It’s especially suited for properties with non-standard construction or those undergoing major refurbishment.

This comprehensive report includes:

• A full visual inspection, including roof spaces, basements, and hidden areas
• Detailed assessment of the building’s structure and materials
• Identification of serious defects such as damp ingress, timber decay, or subsidence
• Guidance on necessary repairs, maintenance planning, and potential costs
• Considerations for heritage or listed status, including conservation restrictions
• Supporting photographs for complete clarity

Choosing a Level 3 building survey in Painswick ensures you have a complete understanding of your property’s condition, helping you avoid costly surprises later on.
