At Stratful Associates, we offer quality surveying services at affordable prices to commercial and residential clients throughout the South East.
We are a small, family-run business based in Hertfordshire. We are authorised and regulated by the RICS. All our surveyors are fully qualified members of the RICS and are chartered surveyors, not associate members.
Chartered surveyors will use the designation MRICS or FRICS after their names, this is the gold standard for surveyors. Associate members often offer a cheaper quote, but beware that associate members do not undergo the same training as chartered surveyors. They are unlikely to provide the same level of expertise as a fully chartered surveyor. A house purchase is for most of us the largest purchase we will ever make, ensure you appoint someone with the best expertise.
We are fully insured and are regulated by the RICS and the property ombudsman. We always send a follow-up email quotation to our customers within 24 hours of your quote. Please check your email junk box in the first instance and contact us if you have not received your quote

More InformationRICS Home Survey Level 2
Our Level 2 survey, previously called a Homebuyers Survey, is ideal for gaining an overview of the condition of the property you are looking to buy. This type of survey is ideal for more modern homes - built in the last 50 years. Those in good condition and made of conventional materials are also suitable for this survey.
Your report will be jargon-free and easy to understand, detailing any obvious concerns with the property and giving you a better understanding of the makeup of the home. This way you can continue with the property purchase with peace of mind.
RICS Home Survey Level 3
The Level 3 survey, formerly known as a building survey, is best suited for older homes, those in poor condition or homes with extensive work completed on them. Period homes such as Victorian properties are an ideal example of this.
This level of survey includes a more thorough look at the property, highlighting all visible concerns and problems and reviewing all safely accessible areas. The report will be complete with pictures of anything the surveyor wishes to reference and suggestions or recommendations from the surveyor based on their findings.
This will enable you to make an informed decision on your property purchase and can also provide you with details that could support the negotiation of the property price.
Snagging Survey
We also offer snagging surveys to inspect new-build homes. This is not as thorough as the other surveys but can be an essential part of the buying process if your new home is still under construction. This allows the contractor to rectify any issues.
Party Wall Survey
When you are faced with a dispute over work on a shared wall, a party wall surveyor can help come to an agreement with your neighbour via a Party Wall Award. This reviews the proposed works, obligations to neighbours and their properties and who is liable for the costs.
