Survey and valuation services

4Sight Surveying offers a range of residential property surveys and related services, each aimed at a different level of inspection or a specific client need:

• RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Survey – a detailed, mid-level survey suitable for conventional properties in reasonable condition and built within the last 60 years. It identifies issues and provides clear guidance for buyers.
• RICS Level 3 Building Survey – the most detailed inspection available, intended for older or complex properties. It includes structural insights, repair advice and a 4K drone inspection of the roof, chimney and gutters.
• NHQB Snagging Survey – a snagging survey for new-build homes that uncovers faults and finish issues, referencing the New Homes Quality Code and its more than 250 quality points covering areas such as decoration, plumbing and brickwork.
• Drone Survey – 4K drone technology used to assess roof or chimney damage, monitor construction progress, survey land boundaries or inspect infrastructure such as power lines.
• RICS Red-Book Valuation – valuations for help-to-buy, probate, matrimonial, market and insurance/reinstatement purposes, with reports stated to be delivered within three days.
• Structural Survey – a targeted, non-intrusive inspection focusing on issues such as subsidence or following structural alterations like chimney breast removal, with recommendations for repairs.
• Specific Defect Survey – a non-intrusive investigation of a single known issue in an otherwise sound property, such as roof defects, poor construction, water ingress or damp.
• Damp & Timber Survey – a survey focused solely on identifying moisture-related problems including rising damp, condensation and moisture ingress.
