What we do

Three services. No upselling.

A survey tells you what condition a property is in. A valuation tells you what it is worth, for a mortgage, an estate, a settlement or the tax return. We quote for the one you actually need, and if a cheaper option will do, we say so before you spend anything.

Home surveys for buying a property

A home survey tells you what condition a property is in before you commit to it. Both levels follow the RICS Home Survey Standard, so each main part of the building is given a condition rating of 1, 2 or 3 and you can see what needs attention first.

RICS Home Survey Level 2Often called a homebuyer survey

Our standard survey for a conventional home in reasonable condition, with every main element rated and explained in plain English.

  • Suits homes built in traditional materials, without major alterations
  • Nothing is opened up, and the report says what could not be inspected
About the Level 2 survey →

RICS Home Survey Level 3Often called a building survey

Our most detailed residential survey, for older, extended or altered homes and for anywhere that already shows signs of a problem.

  • Suspected problems are followed as far as safe, accessible inspection allows
  • Explains the likely cause and what the repair involves. Priced costings are an optional extra
About the Level 3 survey →
Not sure which you need? Tell us about the property and why you need the report: buying, an estate, a separation, a lender. We'll recommend honestly, including when the cheaper option is the right one.
Why we're different

One firm, one standard, whatever the report.

The surveyor who inspects your property genuinely works your area. You instruct one firm, and the report you get is checked against the same standard, written in plain English, and backed by answers when you have questions.

One standard

Every report is reviewed against the same standard before it reaches you, whichever of our surveyors inspected.

Plain English, by design

Every finding says what we saw, why it matters, and what to do. Never boilerplate.

Questions answered

If anything in the report needs explaining, ask us — by phone where that helps.

How it works

What happens after you ask for a quote.

  1. Tell us the property

    Address, type, and roughly when you need it. Takes about two minutes.

  2. Fixed quote, in writing

    A firm figure within the hour in office hours. Not an estimate, not a range.

  3. We inspect

    A local RICS surveyor attends, usually within days.

  4. Your report, and answers

    You get the report, and anything in it you want explaining, we explain.

“Every surveyor who inspects for us is someone I would happily send to my own family's purchase: local, RICS qualified, and working to one report format and one review standard, so you get the same plain-English report whoever attends. The responsibility stays with me. CJ Bloor is answerable to you from first phone call to final report.”

    I received a very quick service from Bloors. They kept me informed along the way and I received my valuation a day early than I was expecting. Very impressed with the courtesy and service
