House Surveys & Valuations
RICS-accredited home surveys and valuations, CCTV drain surveys, electrical, gas & heating testing— everything you need under one roof before you buy.
Be Confident and Reassured
When you buy a home, you want to know all you can about it, so that you’re prepared.
A standard Level 2 or Level 3 Home Survey can tell you a lot about a property, but sometimes you want to know a bit more. That’s why we offer drain surveys along with electric, gas and oil testing to suit every situation and budget.
Make sure your perfect home, is perfect.





Our House Survey Options
Level 2
Good for traditionally constructed properties with limited extensions or conversions built in the last 100 approximate years. A great all rounder!
Level 2 PLUS
Our most popular survey. Covers more than your average survey. Uses a drone to check the upper areas of your home and a thermal imaging camera to check for damp.
Level 3
A step up in detail and investigation. This RICS level 3 home survey is for larger, complex, non-traditionally constructed properties with multiple extensions, or conversions built over 100 years ago. Includes a drone survey of the upper parts of your home.
EXTRAS
Add some extras to your survey - get reassurance about the condition of the electrics, gas/oil and heating by qualified engineers, and a market valuation to make sure you're not paying too much.
CCTV Drain
Find out what is going on under the ground. A CCTV drain survey uses cutting-edge camera technology to assess your pipework. You'll receive a report including videos and photos of the drains along with a quote for any repairs that are needed.
