Answers / David Beaumont
How much does a house survey cost in Wigston?
TL;DR: For most homes in Wigston, you can expect a Level 2 survey to start from roughly £400–£700 and a more detailed Level 3 (building) survey from around £700–£1,200+, depending on property size, age and complexity. Always ask for a fixed quote based on the specific property.
Key points
- Survey costs vary with the type of survey, size of the property and its condition.
- Flats and smaller houses are usually cheaper to survey than large or extended homes.
- Level 3 surveys cost more but provide a deeper, more technical report.
- Local surveyors familiar with Wigston and Leicester construction types can give more tailored advice.
- David Beaumont can provide a clear, upfront quote once basic property details are known.
Short explainer
Survey pricing in Wigston is not one-size-fits-all. Chartered surveyors will look at the approximate value of the property, its size, age and how complex it is (for example, whether it has been extended or significantly altered).
As a rough guide for the Wigston and Leicester area:
- Level 2 survey (HomeBuyer style report): often in the region of £400–£700 for typical houses and flats.
- Level 3 survey (full building survey): often in the region of £700–£1,200+, especially for larger, older or more unusual properties.
Prices can move up for:
- Larger homes with multiple storeys or extensions.
- Very old or listed buildings where inspection is more involved.
- Properties a long distance from the surveyor's base.
A short discussion with a local surveyor such as David Beaumont, with the property's address and basic details, is usually enough to provide a firm quote for the most suitable survey type.
Tip: When comparing quotes, make sure you're comparing the same level of survey and check what is included in the report and follow-up advice.
