What you do not find until you move in without a good home condition survey.

Buying a new home can be a long and stressful process, but if the proper checks are not carried out you could potentially find yourself in a difficult situation once you move in. A Home Condition Survey (HCS) from one of our expert team can help you find any potentially costly or dangerous problems with your new home. Take a look below to see some examples of property issues that you will likely miss without a HCS.

Really professional and efficient. We chose to employ Alan for our building survey and we were impressed with the speed and quality of his report. The advice given was invaluable to support the final decision and our renovation plans. Thanks for all your help Alan!

Alan carried out a level 3 homebuyers survey on a house we had an offer accepted on. It was very easy to get hold of him and he responded quickly to our emails. The report was very detailed and came very quickly (the same day when the survey was done). As FTB we had a lot of questions and Alan was very helpful answering our questions and explaining the details. Highly recommend!

We used Alan for a  home buyers survey "twice" !!! as our first purchase fell through at the last minute, nothing was too much trouble, communication before and after and an explanation of the very comprehensive report was superb. Would thoroughly recommend using Alan
