If you are planning on moving to a new home, it makes sense to ensure that what will probably be your largest lifetime purchase is structurally sound and free from major defects which can cost 1000's to rectify. I carry out a comprehensive inspection and provide a detailed report on the condition of your potential purchase.

I am also happy to discuss the survey report with you to ensure you fully understand any defects found during my inspection before you proceed with the purchase of the property. I offer an independent personalised service to my clients and am happy to talk through any concerns you may have with your potential new home.

Ray has been involved in various projects and giving property advice to me since 1993. He is both knowledgeable and approachable. I would highly recommend him to anyone particularly regarding building surveys and identifying property defects. I am hopefully moving to the Isle of Wight soon and will definitely engage Ray to carry out a building survey on my new property. His integrity has always been unquestionable.

Awful! He submitted a draft report with a really serious error in it. This meant that I couldn't trust the rest of the report and that I ended up having to withdraw my offer on the house.

Very good and helpful service. I received a draft copy of the report by email the day after Ray had done the survey. Which when purchasing a property, it is very helpful to know asap if there is, or is not, any serious defect in the structure.
