Cosey Homes Chartered Surveyors

Cosey Homes, Chartered Surveyors with nationwide coverage across the UK

Cosey Homes is an independent practice of Chartered Surveyors regulated by RICS operating throughout the UK. According to its presentation, it has over ten years of experience providing professional and impartial advice, with surveyors based locally in London and Liverpool, as well as in towns and cities across the country. The firm serves both homebuyers and investors in residential and commercial properties.

Residential surveys: Levels 1, 2 and 3

The residential services portfolio is structured around the RICS standard surveys:

• RICS Level 1 – Condition Report: a basic visual inspection that provides a general opinion on the condition of the property and its contents. Recommended for new-build homes and conventional properties.
• RICS Level 2 – Homebuyers Survey: a report that provides an overall opinion on the condition of the property and a current market valuation. The company describes it as essential for anyone buying a home.
• RICS Level 3 – Building Survey: designed for older, altered or non-traditional buildings, it examines the structure and structural integrity of the property in greater depth.

Valuations, structural inspections and commercial scope

Cosey Homes surveyors are RICS registered valuers and carry out residential valuations tailored to the local market, considering variables that, according to the firm, less qualified professionals might overlook. They also offer specific structural inspections when a particular problem exists — cracks, subsidence, damp or timber infestation — and advice on commercial properties, covering commercial viability, structural integrity and valuation.

Office network and geographic coverage

The company has a presence in numerous locations across the UK. Its head office is in St Helens (Merseyside), and it has offices in Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle, Cambridge, London (west and central), Kingston upon Thames, Portsmouth, Bristol, Birmingham, Peterborough, Oswestry, Derby and Abergele, as well as reference points in Exeter, Torquay, Truro, Plymouth, Kent, Leicester, Dudley, Nottingham, Blackpool and Sunderland. The firm summarises its proposition as nationwide coverage combined with local knowledge of the property market.

Client profile and buyer resources

Cosey Homes targets homebuyers, buy-to-let investors and commercial property owners. The website includes a knowledge base with guides on the buying process, information for first-time buyers, help interpreting the surveyor's report, and advice on commercial property and property investment. It also offers a referral programme for clients and businesses.

Customer reviews

The firm displays a Trustpilot score on its website based on 223 reviews, with an overall rating of "GOOD". Among the testimonials collected, several clients highlight the speed of report delivery, the clarity and detail of the content, and the service received. One review mentions that the Level 3 report identified problems that led to abandoning the purchase, and another emphasises the usefulness of the document for a first-time buyer.
