Review:Very quick to do survey and very responsive to my questions. Thanks so much. I chose Crowes Property Surveys as he was very competitive but also not a huge corporation where I could get lost - I got direct communication from Tim Crowe and liked the fact that he was doing the survey himself.
Response:
Thanks Jo, Very encouraging to hear this. All the best with the new property.BestTimGuildford

Review:Tim is a very experienced surveyor, he completed a Level2 home survey on a property we are buying. The property is a renovation project and looks intimidating for a buyer. Tim was very responsive, he arranged the viewing with the agent, called me on the day to go through all my concerns about the house, and explained to me in layman's terms what was important and wasn't in the issues he spotted. His thorough inspection by going out and lifting the drains covers made him spot a major clog which is now being investigated. His report received few days later was outstanding with traffic light labelling of all issues and pictures illustrating specific area of concerns. I would recommend Tim to anyone looking for a reliable and professional surveyor for peace of mind.

More InformationRICS Home Survey Level 2
Our Homebuyers Survey (Level 2 Survey) is an in-depth survey suited for modern properties that haven’t had any major reconstruction work done. A RICS regulated surveyor will carry out an in-depth examination of the property’s condition and structure.
We will search for any issues that could cause a problem in the future, as well as pressing immediate causes of concern. We have over 25 years of experience in surveying with residential properties, therefore we have gained extensive knowledge of the industry over the years.
We use a simple ‘traffic light’ rating system to give your property a condition rating of 1, 2 or 3. If you receive a condition rating of 1 then there’s no need for repairs and 3 means there are major areas of concern that need urgent repair.
RICS Home Survey Level 3
Our full structural survey or RICS Home Survey Level 3 is suited for older properties that were constructed with unusual materials and have had major construction work done or plan to. A RICS regulated chartered surveyor will carry out the survey, looking for minor and major construction and structural damage.
This survey is the most comprehensive, offering a more thorough examination than our Level 2 Survey. A chartered surveyor will look behind furniture and under floorboards.
Similarly, we will present our findings in an easy to understand report. We will talk you through our results and explain anything you may be unsure about.
