RICS LEVEL 3 BUILDING SURVEY WIGAN
Buying an older, altered or more complex property in Wigan? Our RICS Level 3 Building Survey provides a more extensive inspection and detailed analysis of construction, defects, repair priorities and future maintenance. It includes budget repair costs, a drone roof inspection and direct one-to-one support with your Building Surveyor.
IS A LEVEL 3 BUILDING SURVEY RIGHT FOR YOUR WIGAN PROPERTY?
A RICS Level 3 Building Survey is recommended where you are buying an older, altered or non-standard property in Wigan, including Victorian terraces, larger traditional houses, converted buildings or homes with substantial extensions. Wigan's long-established housing areas include a wide range of building ages and construction types, so buyers can benefit from a more detailed assessment where the property shows signs of movement, damp, roof deterioration or previous structural work.
The Level 3 survey explains defects in greater depth and sets out repair priorities, likely implications and future maintenance considerations. For a more straightforward modern house of conventional construction and in reasonable condition, a Level 2 Home Survey may be the more proportionate option.

ABOUT WIGAN
Wigan has a diverse residential stock shaped by its industrial growth and later suburban expansion. Traditional brick terraces sit alongside interwar semis, post-war estates and newer development, with many older properties having undergone re-roofing, window replacement, extensions and internal alterations.
In older housing, the interaction between traditional construction and later modifications can be as important as the age of the building itself. Roof structure, damp management, chimney alterations, cracking, drainage and the quality of extensions are common areas where a more detailed inspection can add value. A Level 3 Building Survey helps buyers understand not only what defects are present, but what they are likely to mean in practical repair and maintenance terms.
