Getting an RICS survey for a house or flat will give you an idea of just how much you might need to invest in a property after you buy it. This is the most popular report for buyers and is most suitable for modern properties, or a standard older building in a reasonable condition.

John Johnstone is a Registered Valuer with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, and all valuation work undertaken is compliant with the RICS Valuation Standards or "Red Book".An RICS building survey is a more detailed survey and is especially useful for older, larger or non-traditional properties.

Surveys from Keylocks are definitely NOT the type where they cover themselves just in case something is wrong later. It is very thorough, full of meaning and very well communicated. I was very fortunate to have been recommended John Johnstone and I further recommend him and his team on to everyone else. These are what building surveys should be.

John Johnstone provided us with a very comprehensive survey which we found very helpful and then took the time to talk us through the issues raised which was very much appreciated. A friendly and professional service.

From initially contacting Keylocks and liaising with Lorna, John’s PA, to the carrying out of the survey and subsequent report by John was an efficient and professional service. The quick turn around from survey to receiving the report was excellent. John was very thorough and clear in his reporting. I cannot recommend highly enough John and his team. Thank you John and Lorna!

Great service, very efficient and everything was well explained. I’m a first time buyer so was a bit daunted by the whole house purchase process. The survey part was made very simple and John and his team were extremely prompt booking the survey in and preparing the report. Very happy all round!
