Our Level 3 surveys delve into greater detail compared to our Level 2 surveys. Within a Level 3 survey, we thoroughly examine:
The most suitable survey for your needs is contingent on various factors, including the intricacy of the construction, the current state of the property, its location, and your familiarity with the type of property you intend to purchase. For instance, if the property in question is your fifth Victorian-era acquisition, your prior experience likely equips you with insights into maintenance and defects associated with period properties, influencing the type of report you require.
In general, for properties constructed using uncomplicated methods and showing apparent good condition, we typically recommend opting for a Level 2 Homebuyers Report.
Richmond Futures are licensed drone surveyors. Where it’s a appropriate, we have the skills and equipment to utilise drone footage. Drones allow us to inspect higher up areas of your property where we can check the condition of your roof, gutters, chimneys and windows.
The greatest advantage of using drone footage, is the cost effectiveness. To survey high places, typically you would need to hire scaffolding and deal with the organisation & logistics that comes with it.
Drones allow us to view out of reach areas quickly and effectively without interupting you, your neighbours or the local council.
This is an another element that makes our building surveys unique and more thorough than our competitors.
