Structure Only Survey

If you’re concerned about cracks, movement, roof spread or signs of damp, a Structural Survey provides focused, professional advice on whether a property is structurally sound.


At Cowie Consulting, we carry out detailed Structure Only Surveys across the North East and North Yorkshire, delivering clear conclusions on a building’s structural integrity and any defects that could affect stability, value or future repair costs.

What is a Structure Only Survey?


A Structure Only Survey is a targeted inspection that focuses exclusively on the building’s key load-bearing elements, including:

  • External and internal walls
  • Floors and structural framing
  • Roof structures and coverings
  • Chimneys and flashings
  • Evidence of structural movement or damp-related deterioration
  • 

This survey is suitable for all property types and is particularly useful where specific structural concerns have been identified.

When you chose a Structure Only Survey?


A Structural Survey is often appropriate if:

  • You’ve noticed cracking, movement or distortion
  • There are concerns about subsidence or settlement
  • You want clarity on roof or structural alterations
  • A lender or insurer has requested structural confirmation
  • You need structural advice without the scope of a full building survey
  • 

It offers a cost-effective alternative to a full RICS Level 3 Building Survey when your primary concern is structural condition.


What Makes Our Structural Reports Different?


Unlike a standard RICS Home Survey Level 2, our Structure Only Survey:

  • Explains the likely cause of structural defects
  • Assesses the extent and implications of movement
  • Provides estimated repair costs where appropriate
  • Offers clear, practical recommendations

You receive professional analysis and actionable guidance, not vague commentary or generic referrals.
