Southdown Surveyors is a local, independent team of Chartered Surveyors and Building Consultants who specialise in RICS level 3 home surveys. These are ideal if you are dealing with a property that is large, old, run-down, unusual, altered or if you are planning major works.
We offer friendly and personal service which we custom build to fit your requirements to ensure we make an informed decision regarding your property purchase. Although this service is slightly more costly than other RICS reports but does provide you with more detail about structure and building fabrics.
Should you need any additional services, dependent upon the individual merits of the property, we can offer:
We do more than just building surveying. Our Consultant Surveyors can provide you with asbestos surveys (including sample testing), commercial and domestic Energy Performance Certificates, drainage surveys and even fire risk assessments. We offer snagging assessments for newly built or converted dwellings. We can provide specific defect reports if an individual issue is identified. If the survey identifies costly-to-repair defects you may be able to save money by negotiating with the vendor.
Our team are always on hand to discuss our services and findings to leave you feeling assured that you are making an informed purchase of your property.
If you are are unsure which survey to choose, one of our friendly team can point you in the right direction. Or, if you already know which Survey you need, please contact our Chartered Surveyors team today or use our simple ‘Quotation Form‘ to obtain a fee quotation.
My wife and I used Southdown Surveyors during a recent potential house purchase. We had agreed a price on an older, character property and felt it best to fully assess the area and the property. We are both mightily pleased we engaged Southdown’s help as they flagged up some very serious, unseen defects in the property. As inexperienced first time buyers we would have been left having bought a seriously defective property with largely no sell on value and a huge bill simply to make habitable.
Southdown Surveyors were extremely professional, diligent and very helpful. They provide a thoroughly detailed breakdown of the property they survey, from little things like nearby trees that might invalidate house insurance to highly detailed information on the structure and wellbeing of the property.
I think in some cases there might be a tendency on the house buyer’s end to avoid engaging a full survey but with what we have experienced I would strongly advise anyone looking to buy a property to engage a thorough, proper survey. The outlay in doing so is relatively minimal and when you are making such a large financial, and life investment, having professionals on your side, and ones who will help you as Southdown Surveyors did for us, is absolutely invaluable.
