When buying a property, understanding survey costs is essential. At Paddick Engineering, we believe in clear, transparent pricing for all our surveys, whether you need a Home Buyers Survey, a Building Survey, or a Specific Defect Report.
In this guide, we’ll break down the typical survey costs in the UK and explain what you can expect from each service.
Home Buyers Survey Cost
A Home Buyers Survey (Level 2) is one of the most popular surveys for standard properties. It gives you an independent overview of the property’s condition and highlights any urgent repairs or risks.
💷 Typical Cost: £400 – £700 (depending on property size, age, and location)
Our surveys are competitively priced, offering exceptional value for money and detailed, easy-to-read reports.
Building Survey Cost
For older, larger, or non standard properties, a Building Survey (Level 3) provides the most comprehensive inspection. It includes detailed analysis of structural integrity, defects, and recommendations for repairs.
💷 Typical Cost: £700 – £1,200
While a Building Survey costs more, it can save you thousands by identifying hidden issues before you commit to buying.
Specific Defect Report Cost
If you are concerned about a particular issue such as damp, cracks, roofing, or subsidence, a Specific Defect Report may be the most cost effective option.
💷 Typical Cost: £300 – £700
This focused survey helps you understand the severity of the problem and what repairs might be needed.
