VOTED ‘EXCELLENT’ FOR A REASON
A LEVEL 3 SURVEY IS A COMPREHENSIVE PROPERTY SURVEY
Previously known as a Full Building or Structural Survey, this level of service is for home buyers who are seeking a detailed inspection of the building, delving deeper than the Level 2. Ideal for buildings older than 100 years, those Listed or part of a conservation area, and properties that have undergone substantial alterations or are in very poor condition, AMS Surveys can offer a summary of repairs and the probable cause of any defects. The report findings will then allow you to determine the extent of any required works and consider their costs when weighing up your options.
Approaching each survey with the care and due diligence it deserves, you can be safe in the knowledge you've appointed one of the best in Liverpool. We are so confident in our surveys that we'll even send you an example report with your quote to compare against others. Request yours today!

TAILORED SOLUTIONS BASED ON YOUR NEEDS
By evaluating the property for any potential defects, identifying their probable cause, and assessing the necessity for repairs, these inspections represent the most detailed form of inspection. That said, we appreciate that every requirement is different. Our surveyors will consider your individual concerns and modify their reports accordingly, helping you make your decision with the utmost confidence.
FOR HOME BUYERS
Buying a home is stressful, but no more so than finding structural problems once you’ve moved in! Whilst the Level 2 Survey is ideal for standard properties, this report will offer greater detail to ensure your investment is worthwhile and prevent any nasty surprises arising. Whilst the report content may seem technical, our experts can talk you through our findings, discuss what these mean, and help you take your next step forward with the utmost confidence.
FOR BUSINESS OWNERS
When looking into property to house your business operations, the last thing you want is to commit, then encounter issues down the line. By delving deeper into the condition of the construction and various building elements, the detailed, technical Level 3 report known as a Commercial Building Survey will make you aware of any serious risks and their consequences if ignored. Should you wish to go ahead with the purchase or modification, AMS SURVEYS can offer invaluable support, detailing the repair options whilst giving you the data you need to make a wise decision.
FOR HERITAGE BUILDINGS
The Level 3 Survey is particularly valuable for older buildings built before 1850. Having managed many inspections of timber-framed and aged properties across the North of the UK, we’re well-versed with the somewhat unusual findings that may lay in store. However complex the design or uncommon the construction, we’ll leave no stone unturned, offering an overall assessment of repairs, alterations that may have been made, and a full condition rating before you take on your restoration.
