Our reports are much more comprehensive than the standard RICS reports. This will equip you with all the information you need to make informed decisions regarding the property, ensuring enjoyment for years to come.

STRUCTURAL SURVEY
Specific Defect Report
A Specific Defect Report (also known as a Structural Survey or Structural Inspection) is a type of building survey to assess a particular problem or suspected problem with a building’s condition or structure.
​
The survey will look at specific problems encountered with the structure, such as cracking or damp penetration etc, to advise on the cause any further investigations required and the recommended remedial action to ensure the long term integrity of the structure.
​
Unlike a Level 3 RICS Home Survey, the defect report focuses on just one specific area of concern, instead of commenting on the whole property.
These surveys may be required if your mortgage valuation identifies any problems or concerns that your lenders may have regarding the property. Alternatively, you may have already had a survey and want a valuable second opinion regarding a specific problem or concern. Or, it may be your own property, and you have identified a problem that requires professional advice.
​
Whether you're buying a new property, selling, carrying out renovations, negotiating with neighbours or simply want peace of mind, this report can help give you the peace of mind in an economical way.
​
Home Owners Alliance reports 1 in 3 people who have a home survey go on to save money.
RICS reports the average cost of remedial works to home owners that didnt have a survey was £5750 in 2013. 17% paid more than £12,000 to make their home habitable.
With the rising cost of building works in recent times, these figures are now likely to be signifcantly higher.
Getting a survey means there are no unforseen costs, you can identify any issues and obtain quotes for any remedial work before committing to purchase and either get them fixed by the seller or renegotiate the sale price.

​
We demonstrate our worth with total commitment, unrivalled customer service and exceptional knowledge. That’s why our clients stay.
WE PROVIDE A VALUE DRIVEN SERVICE
Clear fixed fees
Know what your getting for your money from the get go. Low cost Surveying fees aren’t always a comparative service, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
We want to raise the industry standards. Our services will be outlined in black and white - no jargon, no small print, no funny business.
WE SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF
Driven by detail
We understand the consequences overlooking the importance of attention to detail, we sweat the small stuff, so you don’t have to.
There are legal, financial, safety and environmental considerations, so a strong focus on detail ensures no critical information is missed, minimising errors and enhancing the quality and credibility of the service.
​
We identify key points quickly with straight forward, insightful advice without the jargon, guiding you through what can be a stressful time as smoothly as possible.
COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY
Totally Open
We see each client as a person, and not just a number. We believe in complete honesty at every point of interaction.
​
We will be completely forthcoming, keep you in the loop as much as you want to be and constantly push to provide the best service possible.
We are not motivated by fees, and we will continue to provide as much or as little post survey support as you require until your needs have been met.
NEVER REACTIVE
Proactive
We only book a small number of surveys each week. This means you won’t have to keep chasing for progress, answers or updates.
When we are instructed, we're entirely at your service. That means we keep you informed - just how it should be. Its our aim to ensure nobody ever has to chase our team, as our whole mentality is based around continually delivering beyond expectations. Being proactive isn’t something we 'try to be' - its instinctively who we are.
​
Need a quick turn around? Challenge accepted. Report in 24 hours? No problem. We recognise that the modern world demands speed and efficiency without compromise on quality. Our clients deserve the highest level of service and we work tirelessly to maintain those standards.
LETS MEET
Going above and beyond
Everyone claims to go above and beyond - but what does it actually mean? For us, its about providing a fresh approach to building surveying.
​
Our service is about people, not property, and were happy to share our most valuable asset - time. Want to meet for a coffee before committing to an instruction or to go through the findings post survey? Lets meet - just drop us a whatsapp, or give us a call.
​
There is no limit to the post survey support we provide. Have any questions, just get in touch - we'll be happy to help.
CONNECTIONS NOT TRANSACTIONS
We're friendly
We're professionals in every sense of the word. But we also know that overly formal communications make things feel a little too serious. We know that when you meet us, you’ll be put right at ease. We always look on the bright side and use this to make your experience as fun and enjoyable as possible.
​
We like to build relationships full of trust, familiarity, and fun. As a small local surveyor reputation is important to us, as most our work comes from our network of connections and referrals.

We let our personality shine through
It’s not just about work, work, work. We genuinely enjoy what we do and we have fun doing it. We are breaking away from the archaic surveyor and stuffy corporate mentality. Our personality will shine through, and we will be completing the survey with a smile.
