Why Hire A Surveyor?
01
Leverage the knowledge and expertise of a property professional to inform your decisions.
03
Uncover Hidden Issues
Benefit from our surveyor's professional eye, identifying underlying property issues which, when addressed promptly, can prevent costly future repairs and enhance property value.
05
A valuation is not a survey
Mortgage offers provide a valuation for purchasers on behalf of a lender but are not a survey. Buying a property is a considerable investment and it is important to have an adequate survey before purchase for peace of mind.
02
Accurate Property Valuation
An accurate valuation safeguards your investments. We provide unbiased assessments based on factors like location, condition, and market dynamics.
04
Negotiate with Confidence
Navigating property negotiations can be daunting. With our surveyor's expertise, confidently secure terms that serve your best interests.
06
Detailed Property Inspection
Viewing a property alongside an agent often doesn't provide ample opportunity to thoroughly examine concealed areas. Features like the roof space or outbuildings might conceal costly issues that a brief overview might miss.
Our Services
RICS Home Survey – Level 2
One of the most common choices for a standard survey is a Home Survey Level 2, commonly known as the "homebuyer report". This assessment not only offers insights on the property's construction, condition, and repair needs but also employs an intuitive 'traffic light' rating system to highlight the state of the property's key elements like windows, roofing, electrics, and exteriors.
The RICS Home Survey – Level 3
Choose the Building Survey (formerly called a structural survey) if you’re dealing with a large, older or run-down property, a building that is unusual or altered, or if you’re planning major works. It costs more than the other RICS reports because it gives detailed information about the structure and fabric of the property.
RICS Property Valuations
RICS valuation reports to equip landlords, investors, and lenders with crucial data for strategic investment decisions.
Red Book valuations encompass a thorough evaluation of your property’s entire value, RICS valuations deliver in-depth analysis, empowering you to make informed and judicious financial decisions.
