Professional Building Surveyors in East Sussex
Southdown Surveyors are a team of professional building surveyors in Hastings and the surrounding areas of Bexhill and St Leonards. We specialise in RICS Level 2 (formerly homebuyers report) and Level 3 (formerly building survey) Home Surveys.
Whether you are buying your first home or buying commercial properties, our experienced team can help. As a local, independent practice regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), we are committed to delivering professional surveying services throughout the town.
Which Type of Survey Do You Need?
- RICS Level 2 Home Survey
A Level 2 Home Survey is suitable for conventional houses, flats and bungalows that are in reasonable condition. It provides an overview of the property's condition, identifies visible defects and highlights repairs that may be needed. It also includes advice on future maintenance.
- RICS Level 3 Building Survey
A Level 3 Building Survey is more comprehensive and is best for older properties or homes in poor condition. This report provides greater detail on the construction and structural condition of the building.

Our experienced Chartered Surveyors carry out every one of our property surveys and includes:
- A thorough inspection of the property's condition.
- Identification of visible defects and potential structural concerns.
- Advice on repairs, maintenance and likely future costs.
- Information that may be relevant to your legal adviser before exchange.
- A clear, easy-to-understand survey report with practical recommendations.
Additional services are also available, including:

Surveying Properties Across Hastings
Hastings offers a diverse mix of properties. From Victorian and Edwardian terraces to seafront apartments, listed buildings and modern developments. Every property is different and local knowledge plays an important role when carrying out a building survey.
Our surveyors inspect properties throughout Hastings and understand common issues in the area. Older homes may have damp, timber decay, or movement. Coastal homes face more weather and salty air which can damage external materials over time. We also have experience surveying properties within conservation areas and advising on listed buildings.
