Professional Surveying Solutions for Every Property

Our Services

Level 1 Condition Report

Ideal for newer properties or homes in good condition.

Our Level 1 survey provides a concise and objective overview of a property’s condition, highlighting any urgent defects, risks or legal issues. It’s designed to give you peace of mind before you commit to your purchase, without overwhelming detail.

Best for: Newer homes, well-maintained properties, or buy-to-let purchases.

Level 2 Building Survey

Our most popular survey (previously known as a HomeBuyer Report) – a comprehensive inspection of your potential new home.

We’ll assess the property’s internal and external condition, including visible defects, maintenance needs, and advice on repairs. Each part of your home is assessed using a clear traffic light system. This report can also include a market valuation and insurance rebuild cost, helping you make an informed offer.

Best for: Most conventional, modern properties in reasonable condition – including homes built after 1900.

Property Valuations

A formal, evidence-based Red Book valuation provided by a RICS-registered valuer for a range of purposes, including purchase, probate, shared ownership, remortgaging, and Help to Buy.

Every valuation is carried out by an experienced local surveyor who understands the South Devon property market – giving you an accurate, evidence-based valuation you can rely on and use for mortgage lenders, solicitors, and housing associations.

Best for: Anyone needing an accurate, independent property valuation in Torbay or the wider South Devon area.
