Which Survey Do You Need?

Not sure which survey fits your property? Answer quick questions and we’ll recommend the right level

Step 1 of 5

Property Risk Filter

Is the property older than 1950, extended, or are you planning renovations?

Older or modified properties often hide expensive structural defects. Let us help you protect your investment.

Hidden Risks

Standard surveys don't include environmental risks. Would you like full visibility?

  • Flood risk
  • Radon gas
  • Sub-soil issues
  • EPC report analysis

Don't let hidden environmental liabilities devalue your new home.

Negotiation Tools

If issues are found, would you like tools to negotiate a better purchase price?

Our clients save thousands on average by re-negotiating based on our repair estimates.

Pro-Tech Add-ons

Would you like advanced inspection and faster delivery?

Drone technology spots hidden roof defects. Express speeds up your decision-making.
