Frequently Asked Questions
What type of survey do I need when buying a property?
The type of survey you choose depends on your property's age and condition. For modern properties in good condition, a RICS Level 2 homebuyer report is usually sufficient. For older properties, complex properties, or those with visible concerns, we recommend a RICS Level 3 full building survey. Our experienced surveyors can advise on the best option for your property purchase.
How much does a building survey cost in Ashford?
Survey costs vary depending on the property's size, age, and the type of survey. A homebuyer report typically costs less than a full building survey. Contact our surveying practice for a competitive quote tailored to your needs. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
What is a RICS accredited surveyor?
RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) is the professional body for surveyors. RICS accredited surveyors have met rigorous training and experience requirements. Our RICS registered building surveyors follow strict professional standards, giving you confidence in the quality of your survey report.
How long does a property survey take?
The inspection itself typically takes 2-4 hours depending on the property's size and complexity. Our surveyors provide comprehensive reports within 5-7 working days. We understand the importance of quick turnaround times in property purchases and work efficiently without compromising quality.
Do you survey commercial buildings as well as residential?
Yes, our surveyors specialise in both residential and commercial properties. We have extensive experience surveying commercial buildings, from retail units to office spaces across Kent and Surrey. Contact us to discuss your commercial building survey requirements.
What areas do you cover for property surveys?
We conduct surveys across Kent including Ashford, Maidstone, Canterbury, and the surrounding areas. We also cover parts of Surrey and the wider South East. Our local knowledge means we understand regional property characteristics and potential issues specific to Kent properties.
What's included in a RICS homebuyer report?
A RICS Level 2 homebuyer report includes an inspection of visible and accessible parts of the property, a traffic light rating system for the property's condition, advice on repairs and ongoing maintenance, and identification of urgent defects. It's ideal for conventional residential properties built after 1900.
Why should I use an independent surveyor?
As an independent practice, we're not tied to estate agents or lenders. This means our building surveyors provide unbiased, expert advice focused entirely on your interests. Unlike surveyors connected to estate agents, we have no conflict of interest in the property sale.
