RICS Building Surveyors
Protecting your next property purchase
Residential Surveys
Our experienced RICS property surveyors provide a range of residential surveys across the south east of England, operating from Guildford, London, Portsmouth, Chandlers Ford (Southampton), and Wokingham.
If you’re buying a new house or flat, it’s important that you understand its true condition in order to avoid potentially expensive repairs in the future. Our two most popular surveys are the HomeBuyer Report and Building Survey.
Our property surveyors can also provide expert party wall advice, lease extension support, and all types of RICS valuations. This includes probate, matrimonial, expert witness, and equity purchase ownership valuations.

If the lease remaining on your property drops below 80 years, the value will decrease, and the price to extend it will climb.
