Hunter Ellis provides detailed Level 3 Building Surveys for older, altered and complex properties throughout Bristol. Your survey is completed by Mark Tutton MRPSA ACABE and includes clear defect analysis, photographs, condition ratings and practical repair guidance.
An RPSA Level 3 Building Survey provides a detailed assessment of the construction and condition of a property. It is generally suited to older, larger, altered or visibly defective homes, including Bristol’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces. The report identifies significant defects, explains likely causes and sets out repair priorities and any recommended further investigations.
A Level 3 survey is generally appropriate where the property:Is older or traditionally constructed, including solid-wall period homes
Bristol has a substantial stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, converted buildings and properties constructed on sloping ground. Depending on the property’s age, construction and maintenance history, common concerns can include:Dampness and condensation associated with solid walls, altered ventilation or unsuitable finishes
Your survey is personally completed by Mark Tutton MRPSA ACABE, an experienced building surveyor and architectural technician. Mark holds a BSc (Hons) in Architectural Design and Technology and a Graduate Certificate in Surveying. He has also submitted his MSc Building Surveying dissertation and is awaiting his final result.One point of contact from initial enquiry through to the completed report

It is generally the appropriate choice for older period properties, particularly where there are solid walls, previous alterations, visible defects or concerns about dampness, movement or the roof structure. We will confirm suitability before accepting the instruction.
Inspection time varies according to the property’s size, complexity, condition and accessibility. A Level 3 inspection will usually take several hours. The expected report-delivery date will be confirmed when the survey is booked.
A market valuation is not included unless it is expressly stated within your quotation and terms of engagement.
A drone may be used where weather conditions, airspace restrictions, site conditions and permissions allow. Drone access cannot be guaranteed and does not replace any necessary intrusive investigation.
