What makes our surveys better?

Our Chichester based building survey business was built from the ground up with one goal in mind: the best residential surveyors providing the best surveys possible. 


We conduct a level 3 inspection as standard; we use the latest technology such as drones and thermal imaging cameras; we conduct extensive research before the inspection; and we produce a highly detailed but jargon free report.

We know that buying a house can be stressful. We are available to speak to our clients at evenings and weekends to answer any questions or concerns. 


We will call you straight after the inspection to let you know if we've found anything serious, or (hopefully) that there are no major defects.

Every house has things that need repairing or replacing. Our reports will not only tell you what's wrong with the property, they tell you how serious or urgent the defect is and exactly what to do about it. 


Each element is given a traffic light rating, helping you to prioritise and budget.
