Defect Focus 02
Damp & Timber Decay
Rising and penetrating damp diagnosed with calibrated moisture meters, sub-floor ventilation blocks, and wet/dry rot detection.
Defect Focus 03
Structural Movement
Subsidence, historic settlement, lintel failures, and seasonal clay heave common throughout Midlands sub-soils.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about booking an RICS property survey.
How much does an RICS survey with I AM Surveyors cost?
Survey fees depend on the property type, size, and location. RICS Level 2 Home Surveys typically start from £350 and RICS Level 3 Building Surveys from £500. Enter your phone number and name above for an instant, guaranteed fixed-fee quote with no hidden extras.
What is the difference between a Level 2 and Level 3 Survey?
A Level 2 Home Survey is a condition check ideal for conventional, unmodified houses built after 1900 in good repair. A Level 3 Building Survey is an exhaustive diagnostic inspection ideal for Victorian, Edwardian, listed, or altered properties, examining structural stability, concealed damp, and providing projected repair guidance.
How long does it take to receive my survey report?
We deliver your full photographic report digitally within 48 hours of completing the on-site inspection. Your surveyor will also offer a phone debrief to answer any urgent questions before exchange of contracts.
Why do I need a survey if my bank did a mortgage valuation?
A mortgage valuation is solely for the mortgage lender to verify their financial security. It is not a structural inspection and does not document defects, damp, roof failure, or required maintenance. An independent RICS survey protects your personal financial interests.
Are I AM Surveyors RICS qualified and regulated?
Yes, we are an official RICS Regulated Firm. All surveys are led by chartered building surveyors bound by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors' strict ethical rules and protected by comprehensive Professional Indemnity Insurance.
