Our Survey & Valuation Services

Clear, professional advice — tailored to your property.

From comprehensive Building Surveys to Targeted Reports and Valuations, our services are designed to give you clarity, confidence, and practical guidance at every stage.

Every property — and every purchase — is different.

The level of advice you need will depend on the type of property, its condition, and the decisions you’re looking to make.

We offer a focused range of professional services, each designed to provide clear, reliable insight you can act on.

RICS Level 2 Home Survey

A clear overview for conventional properties

A Level 2 Home Survey is suitable for properties that are:

  • Relatively modern

  • Of standard construction

  • In generally reasonable condition

What you receive:

  • A professional inspection of the property

  • Identification of significant issues

  • Advice on repairs and maintenance

  • Clear, easy-to-understand reporting

When it’s appropriate

This option is best suited to buyers who:

  • Do not expect significant defects

  • Want reassurance before proceeding

  • Require a professional overview rather than in-depth analysis

Not Sure Which Survey You Need?

We are happy to discuss the property with you and recommend the most appropriate option, before you book.

Vendor (Pre-Sale) Survey

Identify issues before going to market

Benefits:

  • Identify and address issues early

  • Reduce the risk of renegotiation

  • Provide transparency to potential buyers

  • Help support a smoother transaction

Why this stands apart

Our Level 3 surveys are bespoke to every property, and designed to give you real clarity before you commit.

You’ll understand:

  • What needs attention

  • What it’s likely to cost

  • How urgent each issue is

  • Whether the property represents good value

Specific Defect Survey

Targeted advice on particular issues

If you have concerns about a specific defect, a focused report can provide clarity without the need for a full survey.

Common examples include:

  • Structural movement or cracking

  • Roof defects

  • Spray foam insulation applied to a roof

What you receive:

  • Inspection of the specific issue

  • Clear explanation of the cause
