Once instructed, the surveyor made an appointment promptly and visited a couple of days later. The report was prepared and made available the next day. I cant comment specifically on the surveyor while at the property as I dont yet own it but his report included useful comments on which I can act.

We can not recommend Merit Estates more highly. Booking the survey was simple and we were delighted that Andrew could fit us in so quickly. The survey report was then returned in 24hrs which was fantastic as we were being pressured by the vendors to proceed quickly. The survey highlighted concerns which we then followed up with a detailed phone conversation. Andrew was generous with his time and information, which enabled us to make an informed decision regarding withdrawing our offer to purchase, due to the number of serious issues raised. We are so grateful and thankful for the survey and support we received form Andrew and the team at Merit Estates. It has saved us from making a very costly mistake indeed.

I recently used Merit Estates to carry out a L2 Homebuyers survey on my first house purchase. Not only was the quote a very reasonable price, but from enquiry to booking to us receiving the survey report - this only took a matter of days and we were impressed with the quality of the report. I would highly recommend using Merit Estates for any house surveys.
RICS Home Survey Level 2
If you’re buying a property that was built using modern and common materials, then a RICS Home Survey Level 2 will be best suited. One of our RICS surveyors will examine the condition of the property, creating an easy to read report of the defects found.
RICS Home Survey Level 3
For those buying an older home or one in poor condition, a RICS Home Survey Level 3 is recommended. This is a more thorough survey, providing an overview of the condition of the home. It will also highlight any potential issues, defects or concerns within the home. This forms the report, complete with pictures, allowing you to make an informed decision on the purchase.
RICS Valuation
Merit Estates can also offer help with valuations. A property valuation will give you an impartial market value of the property you plan to buy so you know you’re not overpaying. Our surveyors are registered RICS valuers who are qualified and experienced.
