What Leeds’s houses are,
and how they behave.
01The housing stock
LS1–LS29+
Leeds runs the full range: brick back-to-backs in Harehills, Beeston and Armley (a housing type the city kept longer than almost anywhere), Victorian terraces through Headingley and Hyde Park, generous 1930s semis in Roundhay and Moortown, stone villages swallowed by the suburbs like Horsforth, and a large new-build and conversion market in and around the centre.
02What we commonly find
Survey experience+
Back-to-backs raise their own questions — single-aspect ventilation, shared structures, and decades of piecemeal alteration. In the Victorian terraces we regularly find solid-wall damp, bay movement and roof-spread; in the older suburbs, extended semis where the junction between old and new work is the weak point.
03Which survey level — honestly
Level 2 vs 3+
Back-to-backs, pre-1919 terraces and anything significantly extended justify a Level 3. The classic 1930s semi in reasonable order is usually well served by a Level 2. Full scope of each level: Level 2 Home Survey · Level 3 Building Survey · or start with which level do you need?

Common questions · Leeds
Asked before booking.
How much is a house survey in Leeds?
Leeds pricing follows size, age and value: a Level 2 Home Survey typically from around £450, a Level 3 Building Survey from around £650–£700, with larger period houses in areas like Roundhay or Headingley toward the top of the range. We quote a fixed fee for the specific property.
Do you survey Leeds back-to-back houses?
Yes — and they are a good example of why local knowledge matters. Back-to-backs behave differently from conventional terraces (ventilation, shared structures, alteration history), and we survey them as what they are rather than forcing them through a standard checklist.
Which areas of Leeds do you cover?
All LS postcodes, LS1 to LS29 — from the city centre through Headingley, Chapel Allerton, Roundhay and Moortown to Horsforth, Pudsey, Morley, Wetherby and the surrounding villages.
