We begin with a discussion to understand your needs and explain the process.
Once you request a survey, our team will arrange a suitable date with the estate agent or seller to inspect the property.
The RICS surveyor will conduct an in-depth inspection, identifying structural weaknesses, material defects and potential repair needs.
After the inspection, the surveyor compiles a comprehensive report detailing their findings, including any defects, structural concerns or maintenance recommendations.
You will typically receive your report within one to three working days. It will outline any potential issues and give you a clear understanding of the property’s condition.
Larger or more complex properties take longer to inspect, increasing survey costs.
Older or listed buildings may require a more detailed inspection, affecting pricing.
Survey costs vary based on the property's location and ease of access.
More detailed inspections with additional checks may increase costs.
A clear overview of the property's overall condition, highlighting key findings.

Structural movement: Cracks were found in the brickwork and internal walls, indicating possible subsidence.
Roof leak and damp: Water penetration was detected in the loft, with damp spreading to the first-floor ceilings.
Outdated electrics: The electrical system had not been upgraded in decades, raising safety concerns.
