Morton Blair Chartered Surveyors

Why Homebuyers Across Northern Ireland Trust Morton Blair

Buying a home is likely your biggest investment, and we believe you deserve more than a generic checklist. At Morton Blair, we bring the experience of over 20,000 surveys and valuations to every property we inspect.

Whether you are a first-time buyer in Belfast or an investor in Ballymena, we provide the clarity you need to buy with confidence. We recognize that a survey is a significant cost, and it is important to us that you feel your report has been worthwhile and genuinely good value for money.

Personal Guidance from Richard Blair and Frances Morton

We are a small, dedicated firm. When you instruct us, you aren't dealing with a faceless corporate entity; you are working directly with us—Richard Blair and Frances Morton.

We take the time to get to know our clients and understand their specific concerns before we even step foot on the property. We don't expect you to be an expert in building pathology; we are here to guide you through the process and help you understand exactly what you are buying.

"We like to make property surveys personal because it matters to us that each client knows they’re buying the right home for them."

Tailored RICS Surveys for Every Property

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all reporting. Our surveys are individually prepared to provide maximum benefit to you, rather than being generated by automated software.

• RICS Level 1 Survey: Ideal for newer homes and experienced buyers, providing a concise "traffic light" rating of the property's condition.
• RICS Level 2 Survey: Our most popular choice. It includes a detailed inspection, advice on repairs, and extensive photography to help you visualize any issues.
• Expert Valuations: As RICS Registered Valuers, we provide "Red Book" valuations for probate, matrimonial disputes, and taxation purposes.

Our Commitment to Independent Advice

We do things differently. Unlike many firms, we refuse to pay commissions for referrals or use referral websites. This ensures two things:

1. Our advice remains 100% independent and focused solely on your interests.
2. The full fee you pay goes towards the quality of your survey, not into a middleman's pocket.
