Our Building Survey costs from £499 EXC VAT. We'll review the property with you over the phone and provide a competitive fixed cost for your property survey along with a confirmation of when the survey is likely to take place - subject to access. The full building survey cost is more than the HomeBuyer Report due to the additional work which is included within the survey. The RICS Level 3 Survey cost ranges from £500 to £5,000 EXC VAT. The cost is effected by the following: Location. Whilst you may think the Level 3 Survey cost will be more in London, you'll actually find that because of how many surveyors there are that the market competition keeps prices down. Locations in the South West where there are fewer surveyors and bigger/older properties are where some of the most expensive surveys are. Find out the cost for a survey in Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, London. Size. A larger property will take longer to inspect and to type up the report for so the cost is cheaper for smaller properties and more expensive for larger properties. Value. A RICS surveyor takes on more risk for higher value properties so the cost for a Building Survey is more the higher the price you pay - even if the property isn't any bigger.
