Services
A Level 3 Building Survey is the most comprehensive survey available, providing an in-depth look at the condition of a property. If you are buying or own a property that is older, larger, or in poor condition, or if it has been significantly altered, this survey will give you essential insights. It is also recommended for properties valued above £1,000,000 to ensure thorough evaluation.
Our professional surveyors, with their jargon-free approach, specialise in delivering thorough home buyer surveys. If you’re considering a modern property or one in excellent condition, a Home Survey RICS Level 2 report may be the ideal option. This survey provides a clear overview of the property’s condition and simple guidance on any necessary steps.
Our Schedule of Condition survey meticulously documents the property’s condition, both inside and out. This includes a detailed inspection and a photographic report that highlights any existing defects or damages. It offers vital protection for tenants and landlords by providing clear evidence for future reference, especially in relation to dilapidation claims.
The Planned Maintenance Report provides you with an extensive review of your property, highlighting any immediate concerns and potential future risks. This ensures you can make informed decisions about repairs and maintenance, integrating these into your financial planning. Our expert team ensures that the necessary works are scheduled with the least disruption to your operations.
We offer a specialist service for those interested in Listed Buildings, whether buying, developing, or investing. Our Listed Building Survey includes a detailed condition report, recommendations on repairs, and advice on the legal aspects of such properties. This service is designed to make the complexities of Listed Buildings easy to navigate, with a clear, understandable report.

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.

Generally high efficiency with great details.
We had our survey and the surveyor called at the end of the survey to talk us through some of the problems of the house. We were first time buyer and have loads of questions, yet he answered with patience and gave us lots of details and explanations. Report came in within a week, just as they promised. Great details with many relevant pictures. Certainly he identified a lot of things (major and minor) that we didn't noticed.

We read the report and some questions arise a month later. Email them, got really specific answers and responses with explanations.

Really happy my friend suggested them to us, and would definitely use them again and recommend them.

Fourth Wall gave a very competitive quote to undertake a RICS Level 3 survey.

Their communication on the day was excellent and the survey report was a comprehensive document provided after 5 working days in an easy to read format.

I will definitely be using this firm again and also recommending them to other people.

Thankyou for an excellent service.

I can't thank Fourth Wall enough for his professional, efficient, and superb service. We got booked in for the house survey in just a few days and then communication with the team was fabulous. The report is fantastic - really thorough but easy to understand too - and a follow up chat offered to explain the details of the issues and recommendations. The professionalism, efficiency, and communications of Fourth Wall are really impressive and I highly recommend them without reservation!

Excellent service - Josh & Annie made everything so easy for us.
I've worked with Josh & Annie on 3 structural surveys now and they have been a real pleasure to work with. They handle all of the logistics, take any last-minute changes within their strides and keep me updated throughout the whole process.
They have a very quick turnaround time to book surveys and provide reports.
The reports are excellent, far better than I've received before, with a summary that means you can quickly skim over and detailed explanations to read in depth. Josh has been available to answer questions I have about the survey and the property.
I will definitely use Fourth Wall again in my future purchases.

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.

Would highly recommend! With short notice, Josh came and looked at our loft as we’re hoping to convert it into a usable space. He was really informative and gave good advice to put my mind at ease. We now have clear direction of our next steps and can move forward with our plans
