How it works
From price to report, with a person on the end of the phone.
Four steps. No forms you fill twice, no waiting to hear what something costs.
Step 01
Get a price
Enter the postcode, the price you are paying and the survey level. The fee appears straight away and it is fixed. Nothing is added afterwards, and nothing is charged until you decide to book.
Step 02
Book a date
Tell us the dates that work and we contact the agent or the seller for access. Most inspections happen within two to five working days. If access slips, we tell you the same day.
Step 03
Inspection
A RICS surveyor works through the house: roof and chimneys, the roof space, walls outside and in, windows, floors, kitchens and bathrooms, heating, electrics, drainage and the grounds. Two to three hours for a Level 2, three to five for a Level 3.
Step 04
Report and a call to talk it through
Your report arrives within five working days, every element rated green, amber or red, significant repairs costed. Then the surveyor phones you, so you can ask what it means for your purchase.
What happens after the report
The report is the start of a conversation, not the end of one.
A 15-minute call
Booked at a time that suits you, with the surveyor who inspected the house. Ask anything, including the questions you think are silly.
Making sense of the findings
We separate what needs doing now from what can wait a decade, and tell you which items need a specialist to price properly.
Renegotiation guidance
Where the findings justify it, we explain what to send the agent and how to frame it, so the conversation stays factual.
