The right survey.
Clear advice.

Why do you need a RICS Home Survey?

Purchasing a new property, whether for the first time or as an experienced home buyer, can be stressful and complicated. Choosing the right surveyor and survey will help to highlight any serious problems and advise you on the specific risks before you commit to buying.

Unsure which survey you need? Compare our Level 2 and Level 3 home surveys, or contact us for advice about your property.

A report built around your property

At South Downs Building Surveys we utilise modern technology, alongside a thorough inspection procedure, to produce unique reports that reflect the individual nature of the buildings that we call home. Our reports use a simple traffic light system, with plenty of photographs, to help you understand the condition of the property you are buying.

Drone surveys

We also offer Drone Surveys, allowing us to assess hard-to-reach areas such as roofs and chimneys with precision. This technology provides a safer, more comprehensive, and cost-effective way to identify potential issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Time to discuss the findings

Our business model allows us plenty of time for pre- and post-survey discussion, tailoring the experience to you and allowing for a thorough debrief of any defects we find. This is where our practical experience ensures good advice moving forward.
