Review:From initial quote to completing the home buyer survey, Cliff and Helen were very professional and responsive in answering all our queries. He advised us to get a home buyer Level 2 report based on the type of the property. We preferred to have the survey done as soon as possible and he managed to schedule us in for an early date. We received the survey report a few days after. The report came back with an issue in the roof and chimney flashing and was described in the report. He kindly recommended a roof contractor to the vendor to get the roof fixed for us. We would recommend Cliff to any home buyer. Thank you once again, Cliff and Helen.

Review:The company got back to me straightaway when I asked for a quote. They were the best value for money so I went with them. I had a home buyers report completed. It was very thorough and the report was well laid out and easy to understand. I would definitely recommend them. I've put 5 stars for on the day but I was not present as its a house purchase and I have not had any adverse feedback from the vendor so feel that's justified.

Review:Cliff and Helen were excellent, came back within minutes and had the most competitive quote. Despite being the most competitive, you would think their service would cost a lot more based on the experience received - first rate.

Review:Professional & efficient service which I consider to be great value for money.
Was quick to respond initially and communication was via emails (my choice) which were always responded to in a timely manor.
Carried out inspection as booked & managed to get completed report to me earlier than I expected.
I would reuse this company & recommend them

Review:The service we received was excellent. Cliff and his team worked quickly with us and our vendors to arrange a date for the survey and was extremely thorough on the day. We received the report in less working days than originally quoted and were very happy with the level of detail and explanation provided. It was also easy to reach Cliff and his team and to make payment, when we were satisfied with the report itself.

Review:Over a month later and after several emails and phone calls I still have not got my survey. Due to the delay this is causing I have now had to ask another company to undertake the survey causing more inconvenience to the people that we are purchasing from. Poor communication, no survey, terrible service.
Areas Covered
More InformationHomeBuyers Report
At Kirk-Brown, we are proud to offer a RICS home buyers survey around Medway and Kent. You will need our homebuyer report if the property you are purchasing is less than 75 years old, built with modern materials and remains in a good condition.
We have carried out hundreds of homebuyers reports over the years and we make sure we bring our knowledge and skills to your survey. We will thoroughly examine the condition of the property, searching for defects that could affect you later down the line.
Finally, we will present our findings in an easy to read report, highlighting areas of concern. We will offer our expert opinion on how to tackle the issues affecting your property.
Building Survey
Our full structural survey is vital for properties that are older than 75 years, were constructed with unusual materials and plan to undergo reconstruction work. This survey is the most in-depth as it looks at the property’s structure as well as condition.
We will assess exterior and interior walls, searching for any structural wall damage and areas of concern within the property. We usually find issues such as damp, rot and infestation during our building survey.
We will put together a clear to read report based on our findings from the survey, highlighting major areas for concern.
Valuations
Kirk-Brown Limited Chartered Surveyor can also assess your home through a professional valuation, whether it's for your mortgage lender or something similar. The Valuation Survey is not a comprehensive property survey, however, and is typically used to satisfy the lender that the asset is worth the amount of money secured against it in the event that you default on the repayments. It will not assess the structural condition of the building but will ensure you're getting a true market value.
If you want an independent view, then know that you are fully entitled to choose your own Chartered Surveyor to truly act on your behalf. We will send out a trusted and experienced RICS registered valuer to ensure you receive the most accurate and professional valuation.
