Service FAQs

How much does a property survey cost?

Survey costs depend on the property size, location, and type of survey needed. A RICS Level 2 survey typically ranges from £400-£800, while a Level 3 building survey ranges from £600-£1,500. Contact us for an accurate quote based on your specific property.

When should I arrange my property survey?

It's best to arrange your survey after your offer has been accepted but before you exchange contracts. This gives you time to review the survey report and renegotiate or withdraw if serious issues are found, without losing money.

What happens if the survey finds problems?

If our surveyors identify property issues, you have several options: renegotiate the price to account for repairs, ask the seller to fix issues before completion, arrange specialist reports for specific concerns, or in extreme cases, withdraw from the purchase. We provide expert advice to help you decide.

Can I combine a survey and valuation?

Yes! We offer combined survey and valuation services. This is cost-effective as both are done during one visit. The valuation helps ensure you're paying a fair price while the survey assesses the property's condition.
