Independent, RICS-qualified home surveys across Birmingham and the West Midlands. Know exactly what you’re buying — before you exchange.
Birmingham’s housing runs from Victorian terraces and Jewellery Quarter conversions to Sutton Coldfield family homes and city-centre apartments — each with its own risks. Many defects, from subsidence and damp to roof problems and poor-quality alterations, simply aren’t visible during a viewing.
At Sterlingworth Surveyors, our independent RICS-qualified surveyors provide clear, jargon-free residential surveys throughout Birmingham. Whether it’s a Victorian terrace in Moseley, an apartment in the Jewellery Quarter or a family home in Sutton Coldfield, we help you buy with total confidence.

For older, period or altered homes — common in areas like Moseley, Kings Heath and the Jewellery Quarter — we usually recommend a RICS Level 3 Building Survey, as it provides the detailed structural analysis these properties require.
Most residential surveys are completed on-site within a few hours, and we aim for a fast report turnaround so you can make decisions quickly. Every survey includes a complimentary consultation with your surveyor.
Subsidence linked to shrinkable clay soils, damp and condensation, roof defects, poorly altered terraced housing and structural movement. Identifying these before exchange can save buyers thousands in unexpected repairs.
We survey properties across Birmingham and the wider area, including Moseley, the Jewellery Quarter, Sutton Coldfield, Solihull, Birmingham city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods.
A mortgage valuation only protects your lender. A RICS survey protects you — giving evidence to renegotiate the price and a clear picture of the property’s true condition before you buy.
