RFC Surveying Ltd

RFC Surveying Ltd: independent residential surveying in southern England

RFC Surveying Ltd is an independent residential surveying firm led by Antony Croissant, who serves as director and surveyor. The company presents itself as a client-focused service, offering detailed, jargon-free reports, and operates from its registered office in Selsey, West Sussex.

Its work is centred on home buying: pre-purchase surveys aim to identify defects that may go unnoticed during viewings and give the buyer a clear picture of the property's condition before deciding.

Surveying and valuation services

The service range includes RICS-templated level 2 and level 3 reports, plus a bespoke survey template. The firm also carries out RICS private valuations and specific defect surveys.

The process begins with a pre-inspection conversation to understand the buyer's level of knowledge about the property. From there, the report is tailored to the client's specific needs. After the inspection, a verbal report highlighting key points is provided, followed by the PDF document, which the company states is usually delivered within one week of the inspection, a timescale that can be shortened as agreed when requesting the quote.

Surveyor's experience and credentials

Antony Croissant has over fifteen years of experience in the property sector and is a RICS registered surveyor and valuer. His background spans areas such as home and buildings insurance, complaint resolution, estate agency, property management and maintenance, tenancy legislation, residential surveying and auditing.

The company states it has surveyed hundreds of properties and notes that it undertakes ongoing professional development to keep its knowledge up to date.

Coverage area

Its work is concentrated in southern England, covering West Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey. Areas cited include Chichester, Bognor Regis, Worthing, Portsmouth, Havant and Guildford.

Working method and customer service

The firm presents itself as an alternative to the high-volume models of large surveying companies. According to its approach, the service does not end with delivery of the report but includes post-inspection support to answer questions and explain the findings.

The client deals directly with the surveyor from the initial enquiry through to delivery of the report, which the company describes as a single point of contact and a more personal service. Reports cover all accessible areas of the property and use equipment and techniques aimed at identifying defects or issues that may affect the property's value or safety.
