Buying a property in Mold? Our RICS Level 3 Building Survey is designed for older, larger, altered or higher-risk property.

RICS compliant, clear and practical reporting

IS A LEVEL 3 BUILDING SURVEY RIGHT FOR YOUR MOLD PROPERTY?

A RICS Level 3 Building Survey is appropriate for older cottages, stone or brick houses, extended homes and rural property in Mold and the surrounding Flintshire area. It provides detailed analysis of construction, moisture, roof condition, movement, retaining walls and drainage, rather than a simple list of visible defects. The service is particularly useful where the property sits on sloping ground, includes outbuildings or has been altered using different materials and construction periods. Repair options, priorities and further investigations are explained in plain English. Unlike a Level 2 Survey, the Level 3 report gives more extensive defect analysis, describes the likely consequences if repairs are delayed and provides a clearer basis for quotations, refurbishment planning and negotiation.

ABOUT MOLD

Mold sits within a varied Flintshire landscape and has housing ranging from traditional town-centre property to interwar suburbs, bungalows and modern estates. Nearby villages such as Cilcain, Northop, Sychdyn and Nercwys include cottages, converted buildings and detached homes built from stone, brick and render. Exposure, sloping sites and retaining walls can increase the importance of drainage and weatherproofing. Older roofs, chimneys and solid walls may also have been repaired using modern materials that restrict moisture movement. A Level 3 Building Survey is designed to explain these construction relationships and the likely consequences for repair and maintenance.
