What it is
Understand the property before you commit
ASG Consulting is the RICS regulated residential surveyor Liverpool and Merseyside homebuyers rely on, working across the Wirral and the wider North West. We carry out RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer Reports and RICS Level 3 Building Surveys for people buying, owning or investing in residential property, so you understand exactly what you are taking on before you exchange contracts.
Liverpool’s housing stock is unusually varied, and that matters. A 1930s semi in Allerton, a Victorian terrace in Wavertree and a converted flat in the Georgian Quarter each carry very different risks. We match the level of survey to the actual property, then set out what we find in plain, practical language you can act on. If a survey uncovers damp, cracking or movement, our building pathology and defect analysis service can isolate the cause before you commit.
● Independent & evidence-led
Who it’s for
Residential surveying suits anyone who needs to understand a home before they buy, renovate or take responsibility for it, from a first-time buyer in Kensington wanting reassurance to a landlord assessing a portfolio of terraces across Merseyside.

Common questions
A RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer Report suits conventional homes in reasonable condition. A RICS Level 3 Building Survey is considerably more detailed and is the right choice for older, larger, altered or non-standard properties, which covers much of Liverpool’s Victorian and Edwardian stock.
It depends on the property’s age, construction, condition and any alterations. When you enquire, we’ll talk it through and recommend the right level of survey for your situation.
Yes. Clear reporting on condition, defects and likely repair costs can support negotiation, budgeting and an informed purchase decision.
Yes. RICS Level 3 Building Surveys are well suited to Liverpool’s older housing, from Victorian terraces in Wavertree and Kensington to 1930s semis in Allerton and West Derby, particularly where there is a cellar, an extension or signs of damp or movement.
No. A mortgage valuation is for your lender and tells you almost nothing about the property’s condition. A RICS home survey is carried out for you, the buyer, and reports the defects and repair risks that affect your decision.
