Why Choose Cyd Innovation For Your Level 3 Home Survey
Detailed Inspection
A full visual inspection of the building, grounds and services, more extensive than a Level 2 survey. From walls, floors and windows to external areas such as gardens and outbuildings.
A Social Enterprise Focused On Community Benefit
Cyd Innovation is more than a survey provider, we’re reinvesting in our communities, focusing on the people within. By choosing Cyd Innovation, you’re not just protecting your property investment – you’re supporting local initiatives and helping creating lasting, social impact.
Access to Concealed Areas
Where safe and accessible, spaces such as lofts, basements and cellars are inspected to complete the assessment. This uncovers problems that might not be visible during a standard inspection, to provide a more complete picture.
Cost Savings and Budgeting
Identifying problems early helps you plan repairs, manage costs and avoid unexpected disruption. Actionable advice encourages effective budget allocation to avoid unexpected repair costs.
