Overview of

Our Services

  • Market Valuations

    Valuations are undertaken for a variety of reasons including for Matrimonial, Shared-Ownership or Help to Buy, Tax Planning, Expert Witness and Reinstatement Cost Assessments for buildings insurance.

  • RICS Home Survey Level 1

    This service is designed for clients (buyers, sellers, and owners) seeking a professional and objective report on the condition of the property at an economic price. As a result, it is less comprehensive than survey level two and survey level three.

  • RICS Home Survey Level 2

    This level of service is for clients who are seeking a professional opinion on the general condition of the main elements of a property. It is, therefore, less comprehensive than a level three service. The RICS Home Survey Level 2 can also include a market valuation and an insurance reinstatement figure, as part of the service for your own purposes, if required.

  • RICS Home Survey Level 3

    This level of service is for clients who are seeking a professional opinion based on a detailed assessment of the property.

  • Commercial Surveys

    Choose this report if you’re purchasing or taking on a new lease of a commercial property.

Our Services

  • Simon was incredibly helpful when we needed a HomeBuyers report completed. We needed it quite last minute and he went out of his way to fit us in. He was really good at keeping in contact with us and very thorough with his report. He was kind enough to talk us through the report before sending out the hard copy. A breath of fresh air in what has otherwise been a stressful and frustrating time. Highly recommended.

  • We would very much like to commend the quality of our experience in commissioning your services as our surveyor. From beginning to end everything was handled expertly, efficiently and to an extremely high standard of quality.

  • Thank you for the very comprehensive and detailed report on the Vicarage.

  • Firstly, thank you so much for your comprehensive report. Worth paying for the best.  I would highly recommend you again and for a layman such as myself, you have made the whole process easy to understand. Thank you. (My dad, a retired surveyor, read the report for me too and said it was excellent, absolutely excellent).

  • Just to say thank you for the report and for your attention to detail in the survey. It's a pleasure working with you. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services to others

  • Thank you for your report, it has been helpful. I appreciate the work you put into the report which was beautifully and clearly compiled.

  • 5 Star service from start to finish. I cannot praise nor recommend Simon Wilkinson highly enough. He left no stone unturned and truly did go the extra mile in surveying a number of properties for me, his advice and guidance helped me secure a home that met my complex needs after a long and challenging journey. Thank you Simon from the bottom of my heart. You didnt just have my back i felt you held my hand along with it. Thank you

  • Thank you for this comprehensive and helpful report, provided on schedule, and at a competitive price. I am very satisfied that your fee for the report was money well spent. Best wishes

  • I would absolutely and with no hesitation recommend your services to anyone considering a survey.

  • I believe in using local companies rather than faceless organisations so I was really pleased that I was recommended to use you to help me with Pixie Corner.  I know she also rates you highly and I believe should she ever need to recommend or use a surveyor she would contact you again.  The whole family were really pleased so a massive thank you again!
