Level 3 Building Survey
Our Level 3 Building Surveys provide exhaustive property inspections covering structural integrity, material condition, and potential defects. The detailed report includes photographic evidence, defect analysis, and prioritised remedial actions tailored to the property's age and construction type. Ideal for older or unique properties requiring in-depth assessment.
Structural Survey
Specialist structural evaluations focus on load-bearing elements, foundation stability, and critical building systems. We identify hidden issues like subsidence or timber decay, providing technical specifications for repairs. Recommended for properties with visible structural concerns or renovation plans.
Specific Defect Inspection
Focused inspections address specific concerns identified in mortgage valuations or initial surveys. We deliver detailed analysis of issues like damp, subsidence, or roof defects, including causes, implications, and repair cost estimates to inform negotiation or remediation.
Post-Survey Consultation
Following inspections, we provide dedicated phone consultations to explain findings clearly. This service helps clients understand technical reports, prioritise repairs, and make informed decisions about property purchases or renovation projects.
Mortgage Valuation Support
We prepare detailed inspection reports meeting lender requirements for mortgage approvals. Our RICS-regulated status ensures compliance with banking and insurance industry standards for property assessments.

Report
I am very glad I used Midland Property Surveys. It did cross my mind not to get a survey as the house I was buying had been refurbished and looked in 'move in' condition. I decided to get a survey to be safe however, and commissioned Midland Property Surveys based on the excellent reviews and initial helpful phone call with Zoe. I am glad I did so. When Warren surveyed the house he found a range of potentially expensive issues including problems with the roof, floor, render, windows and several other matters. I was ready to pull out, however in the end the survey helped negotiate a significant

Warren at MPS has now done three surveys for us. He is fantastically helpful. I get the impression that he has a real passion for helping people understand the buildings that they are thinking of buying. About as far from a box ticking exercise as it's possible to get. I can't recommend him enough.

I used this surveyor for a house in South Birmingham. Zoe was very approachable and friendly. I was very impressed with Warren's responsiveness to emails and we had a long chat about a property that he highlighted to have had a lot of problems so we did not continue with the purchase. I am impressed with the level of service

Warren and Zoe provide excellent customer service. The communication is excellent. Warren was flexible on booking in the survey as we were having a few issues with our vendor. When he could get in he performed the survey in great detail and provided pictures. He also called me the same day and explained everything to me. We had some follow up issues with our vendor which Warren was able to advise us. So excellent after care aswell.

Excellent service provided by Warren and Zoe! Quick and clear communication from the begging! The survey made was thorough, showing all major and minor problems. It is obvious that Warren has great experience and understanding of his work! We had a long conversation with Warren, right after he was in the property, he sent us lots of photos and explained us in detail all issues. A couple of days later we received the report, again with lots of photos and detailed explanation and recommendations. We are very grateful to both of them, for helping and supporting us at this moment! Thank you, Warren
