Our Services

Standley Estates Ltd offers a diverse portfolio of services tailored to meet the needs of both private individuals and commercial clients. Our core offerings include:

RICS Level 2 Home Surveys Including Valuation

For a comprehensive and in-depth assessment of a residential property, our RICS Level 2 Home Surveys are the ideal solution. This level of survey is widely recognised and accepted as the industry standard for detailed evaluations. Whether you are a prospective buyer seeking reassurance or a seller aiming to accurately price your property, the RICS Level 2 Home Survey provides a thorough analysis of the property's condition, highlighting any potential issues or areas requiring attention.

The RICS Level 2 Home Survey encompasses a wide range of aspects, including an examination of the building's structure, internal and external features, services such as plumbing and electrical systems, as well as drainage and grounds. Clear 'traffic light' ratings are used to illustrate the condition of each element, providing a straightforward and easy-to-understand indication of potential risks or concerns. The report also includes a summary of potential repairs and maintenance requirements, empowering clients to make informed decisions about the property's future. Furthermore, this survey includes the surveyor's professional opinion on the market value of the property.

Building Cost Assessments

Standley Estates Ltd specialises in providing Building Cost Assessments to help clients determine the reinstatement figure of a property for insurance purposes.
