What do Surveys cost?

Without wanting to insult anyone, or be at all secretive, this cannot be answered “just like that”. It takes time for us to understand what you need and can afford.

Things that cause our fees to vary include:-

  • Property size (eg: gross floor area).
  • Property type (eg: it is traditionally designed, is it detached, is it “system built”, is it registered defective under the Defective Premises Act, etc….).
  • Form of construction (eg: modern or Period timber frame? Cob? Metal framed? Traditional cavity or solid walls, etc…).
  • Are there extensive outbuildings?
  • Where is it?
  • Do you require basic survey products or additional services for specific reasons?
  • Do you want us to include/arrange Services tests by Engineers?

We do have a Fee Matrix and this forms the benchmark for our bespoke fee quotation analysis and is not intended to be a rigid fee structure – each and every client is different and has differing expectations!

The best thing to do is to call us for a quotation – this starts with filling out the CONTACT FORM opposite (provide us with at least some basic data EG: 4 bedroom detached house – about 100 years old – value around £500,000 – Building Survey with Valuation opinion needed).
