Independent, RICS-qualified home surveys across Kent and the South East. Know exactly what you’re buying — before you exchange.
Kent’s housing includes historic timber-framed properties, period town houses and coastal homes across Canterbury, Maidstone and the surrounding towns — each with its own risks. Many defects, from timber decay and damp to coastal weathering and structural movement, simply aren’t visible during a viewing.
At Sterlingworth Surveyors, our independent RICS-qualified surveyors provide clear, jargon-free residential surveys throughout Kent. Whether it’s a timber-framed period property in Canterbury, a family home in Sevenoaks or a coastal property near Ashford, we help you buy with total confidence.

Weathering from coastal exposure, timber decay and beetle infestation in timber-framed properties, damp and penetrating moisture, structural movement and roof deterioration. Identifying these before exchange can save buyers thousands in unexpected repairs.

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.
