When a Level 2 or Level 3 survey flags the roof
Your survey flagged the roof — what now?
A RICS Home Survey assesses the property broadly and will often note roof condition only from ground level or with limited access. When your surveyor recommends a specialist roof investigation, our focused inspection in Altrincham gives you the detail you need to decide whether to proceed, renegotiate, or walk away.
