Abode Surveyors is based in Essex and much of our work is in Essex and East Anglia, although we can travel further. Our extensive experience covers residential and commercial property and we deal with all types of buildings, old and new. We can advise on a range of professional property matters from building surveys to homebuyer reports, expertise on dilapidations, schedules of condition and building pathology.
Our other services include rating, valuations, appeals, party wall matters and planning applications. Our surveyors are qualified members of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) so you can be confident that the advice you get will be the highest and most professional standard possible.

We are a team of Chartered Surveyors dedicated to providing our clients with fast track advice on construction matters in the residential and commercial building sectors. We deal with all types of buildings in the East Anglian region, old and new, from period cottages to listed Manor houses, modern dwellings and commercial buildings.
A survey will help you to make a reasoned and informed decision on whether to go ahead with buying a property. Before you decide to commit yourself legally, you can limit the risks by asking a chartered surveyor to answer the following questions for you. Arranging your own survey is the simple, cost-effective way to avoid unpleasant - and perhaps expensive - surprises after moving in.
Although by its very nature the fixed Homebuyer Report has limited space to discuss extra issues, the bespoke Full Structural Survey (Building Survey) can include every query you have, from concerns about roof leaks to plans for a loft conversion. Our letter confirming your survey instructions has details.
A Building Survey is suitable for all residential properties and goes beyond the limitations of the Homebuyer Report providing a full picture of the construction and repair condition of the property. It diagnoses defects, suggests remedies, together with a cost breakdown and gives advice on future maintenance requirements.
This is a budget, simplified version of a building survey and we use a standard format published by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. It is suitable for houses and flats built from early 20th Century to date and either of standard or simple construction. Unlike the full building survey, this service also includes a valuation and a fire insurance reinstatement cost valuation.
