Comprehensive but not particularly insightful survey
I recently had a Level 3 survey done, which was completed quickly. However, I was not allowed to attend the survey, so I didn't have the opportunity to discuss it with the surveyor in person. Although they offered to take calls if I had any doubts, I didn't feel that this was a sufficient substitute for a face-to-face conversation.
In my opinion, the survey was quite extensive, but it focused more on general suggestions rather than identifying specific issues with the property. Notably, the surveyors missed some significant problems, such as the asbestos tiles on the ground floor, which were not covered and seemed impossible to overlook.
Interestingly, a construction company that visited the property to provide a quote identified issues and offered suggestions that were more comprehensive and helpful than the survey. If I could go back, I wouldn't spend the money on the survey again.
