At Yellow Brick Surveyors, we believe that when you’re buying or maintaining a property, you deserve more than just a surface-level check — you need a clear and complete understanding of its condition.
​
That’s why we provide the RICS Level 3 Building Survey — carried out in accordance with the rigorous standards set by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). As the UK’s leading professional body for property and construction, RICS is recognised for upholding the highest levels of integrity, technical expertise, and reporting quality.
Our surveys reflect these values — offering a thorough, structured, and dependable assessment of your property's condition.
​
We’re committed to delivering the most comprehensive inspection possible. A detailed survey ensures that nothing important is missed — giving you clarity, certainty, and the confidence to make informed decisions. Our approach is built around quality, not shortcuts, because we believe your home deserves nothing less.
​
This survey is ideal for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their property — whether it’s older, extended, of non-standard construction, or simply requires a closer look.
​
We carefully inspect all accessible areas, inside and out, and provide a clear, jargon-free report that doesn’t just highlight problems but explains their causes and offers practical, evidence-based advice.
