Various property surveys are available, each differing in detail and cost. The primary home survey types we offer are outlined below. Included in all our home surveys is a drone assessment of the roof and elevated spaces. Pricing begins at £350+VAT, based on a Level 1 survey of a one-bedroom terraced house.
