What affects the cost of a property survey?
All our prices are fixed and include VAT.
Property Size
Larger properties generally take longer to inspect and report on, increasing the survey cost.
Property Value
Higher-value homes often attract higher professional indemnity requirements and greater survey complexity.
Property Age
Older properties can have more defects, non-standard construction methods, or hidden issues that require a more detailed inspection.
Survey type
A RICS Level 2 Survey typically costs less than a RICS Level 3 Survey, as it has deeper analysis and is a more comprehensive report.
Valuation add-on
Adding a private market valuation increases the cost of the survey fee, giving you an RICS-certified valuation.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before booking your survey.
Yes. A lender's mortgage valuation is done solely to protect the bank — it is not a survey and it does not protect you as a buyer. An independent RICS survey is the only way to know what you are buying.
A Level 2 Report is a thorough but standardised inspection suitable for most properties built after 1950. A Level 3 Survey is a more in-depth inspection essential for older properties, listed buildings, or anything with extensions.
