Frequently Asked
Survey questions answered
Helpful information for buyers, owners and investors choosing a survey.
Request a QuoteWhich survey do I need?
The right survey depends on the property’s age, construction, condition, size and whether it has been altered. A more detailed survey is often suitable for older or unusual buildings.
How long does a survey take?
Inspection and reporting times vary by property and survey level. Update this answer with your actual turnaround times.
Will the survey include a valuation?
Not all surveys include a valuation. This should be confirmed clearly in the scope before instruction.
Can I speak to the surveyor after the report?
Yes. A follow-up discussion can help clarify significant findings and recommended next steps.
Do you inspect commercial property?
Yes. Commercial services may include acquisition surveys, condition reports, schedules and building consultancy.
