Our Services
Our range of services at Kennett Surveys includes:
- Home Survey Level 3 Reports (Building Surveys)
- Home Survey Level 2 Reports (RICS HomeBuyer Reports)
- Valuation Reports
- Valuations for Purchase
- Probate Valuations
- Matrimonial Division Valuations

The Home Survey Level 3 Report (Building Survey) is an in-depth assessment of a property's structure and fabric, comprehensive enough to handle large, older, unusual, or run-down properties or those requiring significant alterations or works. During the survey, our experienced surveyors utilize a thermal imaging camera to spot possible dampness or heat loss issues in hidden areas. This comprehensive report, consisting of around 30 pages, is delivered in accordance with the Home Survey Standard (1st edition) RICS professional statement.
Home Survey Level 2 Report (HomeBuyer Report) focuses on particular types of properties, specifically conventional houses, bungalows, and flats which are in apparently reasonable condition. The Home Survey Level 2 Report offers a visually clear inspection summary with 'traffic light' ratings assigning Condition Ratings 1, 2, or 3 to significant defects identified. It is delivered in accordance with the Home Survey Standard (1st edition) RICS professional statement.
When choosing the appropriate survey type, the Independent Surveyors & Valuers Association offers valuable guidance, accessible through a handy online guide.
Valuations at Kennett Surveys are carried out by an esteemed RICS Registered Valuer for purposes such as Purchase, Matrimonial, Inheritance Tax and Probate, Reinstatement Cost for Insurance Purposes, and Right to Buy. It is imperative to remember that mortgage valuations cater to the lender's interests, while surveys serve to safeguard your own interests.
