Building Survey (RICS Level 3)
A Level 3 Building Survey is recommended if you are seeking a detailed inspection of a residential property, either your own or one you wish to purchase. Also referred to as the RICS Home Survey Level 3, this in-depth survey gives you a complete assessment of the propertys condition. Its ideal for larger, older, or extensively modified properties, as well as those in poor condition or valued above 1,000,000.
Home Survey (RICS Level 2)
We take pride in offering highly detailed residential surveys, with a focus on simplicity and clarity. Should you be purchasing a newer, well-maintained property, the Home Survey RICS Level 2 report is a practical choice. It delivers an insightful analysis of the propertys state and provides straightforward recommendations for your consideration.
Schedule of Condition
When entering into a new lease, a Schedule of Condition is vital for protecting your assets. It offers an in-depth inspection and a detailed photographic report, recording the property's condition at the point of occupancy. This ensures you are safeguarded against future disputes over property damages or dilapidation claims.
Planned Maintenance Report
A Planned Maintenance Report offers a detailed overview of your propertys condition, from current issues to potential future problems. This crucial document assists you in aligning repairs and maintenance with your budget, ensuring that necessary works are carried out promptly and with minimal disturbance to your schedule.
Listed Building Survey
A Listed Building Survey is a thorough examination of the propertys condition and any surrounding outbuildings. Conducted by RICS-accredited professionals, this service ensures that you have a clear understanding of the propertys historical value, the repairs needed, and any future risks. Our reports are designed to be concise and free of technical jargon.

I ordered a Level 3 survey and it was done extremely well. The detail provided helped us negotiate the price down. Liam Piercy was immensely helpful after the fact and answered any lingering questions we had. Highly recommended.

We recently had a survey conducted by Fourth Wall on a property we wish to buy. The whole process was fast, prompt, transparent and stress free. We have had many surveys in the past but this one stands out as being very informative and jargon free. Follow up questions were dealt with and the uncertainty (and stress!) surrounding the purchase was greatly reduced. We would recommend them to anyone in a similar position. We will not hesitate to commission them in the future.

We received an extremely detailed survey from Joshua Weston, which contained really useful information. The level of detail that Joshua provided helped us with planning, and allowed us to go ahead in purchasing our new home. The communication with Fourth Wall was excellent throughout, and we received polite and friendly updates in a timely fashion from Zoe.

Joshua Weston did a full survey on our C.1900 property. This is our first property and he really helped us understand the process. The survey was set up quickly and came back within a week, we were so impressed with how comprehensive it was. Following some of the issues raised Josh then referred us to contractors who could provide quotes for the issues within our area going above and beyond after we had bought the property. Brilliant and couldnt recommend them enough.

From my very first interaction with Forth Walk I was impressed. The speed that the quote was delivered, works booked in and the turn around time of the finished report was excellent, also the quote was competitive. As a surveyor who has worked in the industry for many years I have come across a variety of firms, however, this one truly stands out. I wish Josh and his team all the best for the future and I offer Fourth Wall my full recommendation to anyone thinking of using their services!

We have used Fourth Wall twice for residential property surveys when purchasing. Annie and Josh are great to deal with, prompt and friendly communication. The reports are excellent - thorough, well presented and easy to understand. Hopefully we won't need to use Fourth Wall again if this purchase goes through, but we will recommend to everyone who asks.

Absolutely brilliant company to deal with.
Josh and Annie both very approachable and answered all our queries even before the survey. We had a level 3 survey which was conducted to a very high and thorough standard. The report was easy to read and had a great level of detail. There was also a very handy breakdown of potential repair costs which a lot of surveyors do not offer. The cost was extremely good value considering the service we received. Thank you.

Excellent service. A full building survey was produced at the time promised with excellent communication and the report was detailed enough without waffle and gave a good list of potential repairs needed and costs. We are delighted with the house purchase and found the service was very professional from Josh.
