Our Level 2 Home Surveys are ideal for conventional properties in reasonable condition, offering a thorough overview of key elements such as the roof, walls, floors, and services. We identify visible defects, highlight issues that may affect value, and provide clear guidance on repairs and ongoing maintenance. Written in plain English, our reports are designed to be easy to follow while still delivering the depth of analysis buyers expect from a chartered surveyor.
For older, larger, or more complex properties, Gemstock offers comprehensive Level 3 Building Surveys. These provide an in-depth assessment of the structure and fabric of the building, exploring defects in detail and advising on causes, implications, and remedial options.

- Identify defects and potential structural issues early
- Understand the true condition of the property, not just its value
