Surrey Surveyors: RICS surveys in Surrey, Kent and London

Surrey Surveyors is a surveying practice regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) based in Cobham, Surrey. Its team, made up of professionals who grew up in the county, offers home survey services, property advice and specialist surveys in Surrey, Kent, London and south-west London, as well as international surveys in several European countries.

Surveying services

The company structures its offering around different types of surveys tailored to each situation:

• RICS Level 2 Home Survey: the most popular survey for post-1900 properties in reasonable condition. It includes a thorough visual inspection, traffic light condition ratings, damp testing and drone inspection.
• RICS Level 3 Building Survey: the most comprehensive survey available. Essential for older, unusual or altered properties, with detailed structural analysis, probable causes of defects and specialist contractor recommendations.
• House Health Check: designed for existing owners and landlords who want an expert assessment of their property's condition without the full pre-purchase survey process.
• International Surveys: RICS surveys in France, Spain, Portugal and Italy, with all-inclusive fixed fees covering travel, accommodation and expenses, with no surprise charges.
• Standalone Drone Survey: aerial inspection focused on roofs, chimneys, gutters and high-level elements, with a written photographic report. Ideal for owners, landlords or following storm damage.
• Standalone Damp Survey: independent expert assessment of damp and condensation problems using moisture meters and thermal imaging, with no conflict of interest.

Differences from a mortgage valuation

The company stresses that a mortgage valuation is not the same as a survey. The valuation is carried out by the lender to determine whether the property is adequate security for the loan, but it does not report on defects, structural or maintenance problems that could lead to high costs. An independent survey allows you to identify problems before committing, negotiate the price, plan your budget and make decisions with greater confidence.

Local knowledge and coverage

The Surrey Surveyors team grew up in Surrey and has developed its professional career in the county, giving them in-depth knowledge of its housing stock, its market and its recurring problems. The company says it knows which areas are prone to subsidence, where Victorian and Edwardian terraces are most likely to have had unauthorised alterations and which areas present particular drainage challenges. Coverage areas include Cobham, Esher, Guildford, Woking, Leatherhead, Reigate, Farnham, Epsom, Dorking, Staines, London and Kent, among others.
