What Our Clients Say

“We chose Andrew James Property Surveyors based on their excellent reputation. In a very short timeframe after contacting them, they scheduled a Homebuyers Survey (Level 2) for a price we considered to be very reasonable. Within 5 days of completing the survey, they sent a detailed report that was easy to understand and clearly outlined the areas to focus on for us and our solicitors. I couldn’t have asked for a better service. Andrew James Property Surveyors is definitely a company I would recommend.”
— Mr Alan B

“Exceptional service. We booked to have a Level 3 survey and valuation done on a property we were hoping to purchase. Both the survey and valuation were very thorough and I felt like no stone was left unturned. Andy was amazing, calling the same day the reports were issued to help understand the conclusions, plus we knew we could call if we had any further queries. We felt like we were in very safe hands and that we’d really been looked after. What a great team! Will definitely use them again.”
— Jane Paterson

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a building survey?
Yes – even newer homes can hide issues that aren’t visible during a viewing. A professional survey gives you peace of mind and leverage in negotiations.

Which survey level should I choose?
For modern properties in good condition, a Level 2 Home Buyers Report is often sufficient. For older homes, listed buildings, or properties with extensions, a Level 3 Building Survey is recommended. We’re happy to advise on the best option.

Are your valuations accepted by lenders and official bodies?
Absolutely. As a RICS-accredited practice, all our valuations meet the required professional standards and can be used for official purposes.

How quickly will I receive my report?
We aim to deliver reports within five working days of inspection – and we’ll call you personally to explain the findings.
