Review:Moving for the first time in 34 years and to a new area I thought a survey was needed, especialy as it takes us 2 hours to reach the property. Prior to the survey the communications were very good and the report turned up in my in-box very promptly. He spotted things that my untrained eye wouldnt so I consider it money well spent, especially as i was previously quoted considerably more ona survey for another property we were considering. Would not hesitate to recommend Phil and his company to anyone!

Review:Having chosen to get a survey done independently, instead of through my mortgage lender, I went online to compare surveyors. Property Surveys Devon came up mid way through the range of prices Ia??d been quoted and had solid reviews. I can only add another good review. Managed to get me into a cancellation spot, excellent communication, a very thorough survey. Would 100% recommend .

You will need us to carry out our RICS Home Survey Level 2, also called a home buyers report, if the house you’re buying is modern and in good condition. One of our RICS regulated chartered surveyors will carry out an examination of the house to find any defects or damage that isn’t easy to spot.
We will be very thorough with our survey and aim to complete the survey and our easy to understand report within 1-2 days. The report will include areas of concern and hidden damage within the property.
We have carried out hundreds of level 2 surveys over the years, giving us in-depth knowledge and skills of surveying a variety of property types.
