Southdown Surveyors are an independent, local firm of Chartered Surveyors and Building Consultants based in East Sussex. We provide clients across the Sussex area with professional building services, and whilst a building survey is slightly more costly, we provide surveys at extremely competitive fees. Our services can be tailored to meet your needs, providing the necessary information you need to make an informed decision on a prospective property purchase.
We specialise in RICS level 3 home surveys which is ideal if you are thinking of purchasing or renovating a property which is large, old, run-down, unusual, altered or if you are planning major works. This particular survey will give you a lot more detail about the building structure and fabrics.
The following options can be added to your Survey if required (depending upon the individual merits of the property, an additional charge may be applicable):
Our experienced and friendly team are always available to discuss our services further. Once the survey has been completed, our service does not simply stop. We are always on hand to discuss findings and we guarantee you will be left feeling confident you have made a well-educated decision in purchasing your property. If the survey identifies repairs which could be costly, we can help you save money by informing you about the correct negotiations with the vendor. We can provide specific defect reports if necessary, or even snagging assessments for newly built or converted dwellings. Our consultant surveyors will provide any asbestos surveys (including sample testing), party wall advice, commercial and domestic energy performance certificates, drainage surveys or fire risk assessments if required.
If you are in any doubt as to which survey you require, one of our friendly team can provide guidance. Please get in touch today.
We have recently completed a Major Works project on our block of flats with Southdown Surveyors. I am happy to advise that the whole process has been painless and successful.
The project commenced and continued with appropriate advice and guidance; from beginning to end. Progress meetings were frequent and helpful. The contractors work was appropriately inspected/supervised throughout and the scaffolding was down within days of contract completion.
My previous experiences with major works projects were not happy ones with poor quality work, inadequate supervision and poor surveyor/contractor relationships and massive delays with scaffolding removals.
On this occasion my fellow Directors and I felt we were fully consulted and advised on options and outcomes and delighted that we came in within a few pounds over budget.
I have no hesitation in highly recommending Southdown Surveyors for Major Works projects.
