Southdown Surveyors are an experienced practice offering surveying services working with domestic and commercial property across East and West Sussex. We have been providing detailed reports and surveys to many properties since 2006 and have quickly grown into a fine establishment based on hard work and trust with our clients. We work with a range of clients, ranging from buy-to-let investors to first time buyers wanting to get onto the property ladder. We take pride in the fact that many of our clients are gained via word of mouth and positive reviews. This is through our practical and friendly approach with our clients to ensure they fully understand the finances for their property.
Our Chartered Building Surveyors are professionally trained and registered members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). This gives us the skills and knowledge to provide accurate and impartial advice when it comes to requesting the required survey for a potential property.
We offer two types of survey: a RICS Homebuyers report and a Building Survey. Each survey is used in different circumstances, dependent upon the amount of information you need to gain about your potential property purchase before heading into negotiations. We take time to discuss our findings with the client, ensuring they get the full picture explained in a comprehensive manner. When they have all the necessary information, our clients save time and money when going ahead with their purchase. We understand that buying a new home can be very stressful and the importance of making the right financial decisions during this time. It is essential to have a clear explanation of all of the information relating to the structure and condition of the building before entering negotiations.
If required, we offer private valuations which include an impartial, brief report which notes the main factors of the property that will affect its market value. We assess each clients situation individually, with a friendly, flexible approach to put your mind at ease. To find out more about our services, contact us on 01323 739183.
The building survey report I received from Southdown for my proposed house purchase was extremely comprehensive and helpful. I had partly expected pages of general comments and padding. However it was very specific to the property and very detailed and it was clear that considerable amount of time and effort went into the survey itself and the report. It made very clear the remedial work and action points that are required and it will be very crucial in renegotiating the purchase price. Matthew Symonds who undertook the survey was genuinely interested and helpful in answering the various queries I had and gave me all the time I needed. He clearly understands customer service! The report was worth every penny and I have no hesitation in recommending Southdown Surveyors or using them in future.
