Don't buy a property blind. Get a quote from an accredited chartered surveyor for Level 2 and Level 3 home surveys, snagging, and valuations. All our surveyor partners are accredited under CIOB, RICS and/or RPSA.
There are several types of property survey in the UK. The right one depends on the property's age, condition, and how much detail you need.
An entry-level report assigning condition ratings to key elements. Best for newer, well-maintained homes only.
A popular option and thorough inspection with traffic light condition ratings with key risks highlighted. Suitable for most standard properties.
The most comprehensive survey available. Essential for older, larger or unusual properties — includes repair advice and cost guidance.
Identifies defects in new-build homes before you move in — from structural issues to cosmetic snags. All remediation is the contractor's or developer's responsibility.
Beyond standard home surveys, our accredited panel also covers specialist property services for complex legal, planning and valuation needs.
RICS Red Book compliant independent valuations accepted by HMRC, lenders and courts. Covers probate, divorce, Help to Buy, remortgage and auction valuations.
Planning works that affect a shared wall or boundary? Our panel of party wall surveyors issue statutory notices, prepare schedules of condition, and draw up Party Wall Awards.
For boundary disputes, dilapidations, defects and valuation disagreements. Our expert witnesses produce CPR Part 35 compliant reports for civil courts, the First-tier Tribunal and arbitration.
