Your surveyor is there to find any problems that could make you rethink whether you want to buy the home, so you really need to find a surveyor you can trust not to miss anything. Ideally they also wouldn’t break the bank!
How to choose a surveyor
- ⭐ compare verified reviews from previous customers.
- 💸 compare quotes for your chosen survey type from multiple surveyors.
- ☑️ make sure the surveyor is a qualified member of either RICS or RPSA, the 2 main professional surveying bodies.
- 📅 ask how quickly the surveyor could come if you’re in a big rush, though generally the conveyancing work will take longer than the wait anyway.
The estate agent or your lender may suggest a surveyor, but it’s worth bearing in mind that they often get a fee for referring you, and so their suggested surveyor may not have the best customer reviews or price. Always check reviews and get multiple quotes to compare price.
