RICS Level 3 Survey in Cirencester for Period, Listed & Altered Homes

Cirencester is rich in architectural character, from centuries-old Cotswold stone cottages to elegant Georgian homes and sympathetically converted buildings. These properties are beautiful, but they often come with layers of history, alterations and hidden defects that require a far more detailed inspection than a standard report.

That’s why Cornerstone Surveyors provide a RICS Level 3 Survey for buyers who need real depth, clarity and expert guidance before committing.

If you’re looking for an experienced building surveyor in Cirencester that buyers trust for older or unusual homes, a level 3 home survey is the right choice.

What is a RICS Level 3 Building Survey?

A RICS Level 3 building survey is the most detailed inspection available to homebuyers. Previously known as a full structural or building survey, it provides an in-depth assessment of the structure, construction and condition of the property.

This type of building survey is particularly suited to:

  • Period and historic homes
  • Listed buildings
  • Properties built with Cotswold stone
  • Homes that have been extended or heavily altered
  • Buildings showing signs of movement, damp or ageing materials

Why Many Cirencester Properties Need a Level 3 Survey

Cirencester’s older housing stock often uses traditional materials such as solid stone walls, lime mortar, timber framing and ageing roof structures. These buildings behave very differently from modern homes.

A professional level 3 survey can uncover:

  • Structural movement and long-term settlement
  • Hidden timber decay and beetle infestation
  • Roof spread and failing supports
  • Damp issues caused by inappropriate modern repairs
  • Poor quality past alterations or extensions
  • Risks linked to listed status and conservation requirements

For these homes, a level 3 building survey provides essential knowledge, not just reassurance.

Specialist Insight for Listed & Heritage Buildings

Cornerstone Surveyors are highly experienced when acting as a level 3 surveyor for heritage and listed properties in Cirencester.

They understand:

  • How lime mortar and stone walls must breathe
  • The problems caused by cement renders and modern materials
  • Traditional roof and timber construction methods
  • The care required when maintaining listed buildings

This specialist knowledge ensures your RICS Level 3 survey is relevant to the building’s age and construction, not a generic template.
