Tier 1
Modern or conventional homes built after 1960, flats, smaller terraces and semis in good condition. Inspection time is shorter and the report is straightforward.
Tier 2
The most common instruction. Mid-value homes with some age, extensions or alterations — most Cardiff, Newport and Swansea post-1900 properties fit here.
Tier 3
Period, listed, large or significantly altered homes. Higher value, more rooms, unusual construction or multiple extensions require extra time and deeper analysis.
