IS THIS SURVEY RIGHT FOR YOUR LIVERPOOL PROPERTY?

A RICS Level 3 Building Survey is often the best choice for buyers purchasing older or character property in Liverpool, such as Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, or homes in established suburbs where alterations and extensions are common.

ABOUT LIVERPOOL

Liverpool has an extensive supply of historic and character property, with large areas of Victorian and Edwardian housing across districts such as Mossley Hill, Woolton and the Georgian Quarter. Many homes include traditional solid walls, ageing roof structures and past alterations, all of which benefit from detailed assessment.

As the city continues to evolve through regeneration and refurbishment, buyers are frequently purchasing older properties requiring careful evaluation of structural movement, damp performance and previous renovation work. A full building survey provides the depth needed to understand defects, repair priorities and the implications of owning a period building.
