Mark Vincent Surveying
Bath
3 Edgar Buildings, Bath, Avon, BA1 2FJ, Bath
Led by Mark Vincent with over 30 years of experience, we provide independent, jargon-free RICS surveys across Bath and Somerset. Whether it's a city apartment or a country estate, we offer the unbiased professional advice you need to negotiate with confidence.
Decades of Local Knowledge in Bath and Beyond
We believe that a survey is only as good as the surveyor’s knowledge of the local soil, building materials, and history. Our founder, Mark Vincent, was born and raised in Bath—even learning to swim in the Cross Baths—and has been surveying properties in this region since qualifying in 1985.
When you hire us, you aren't just getting a report; you're getting over three decades of local insight. We have seen the evolution of the property market in North Somerset, West Wiltshire, and Bristol, and we understand the unique challenges of the local architecture.
Independent Advice Without Corporate Pressure
We choose to remain strictly independent of estate agents and financial institutions. This is a deliberate choice that allows us to provide honest, unbiased, and sometimes "blunt" advice that helps you understand exactly what you are buying.
Our loyalty is solely to you, the buyer. We provide the peace of mind that comes from knowing your surveyor isn't trying to push a sale through for a corporate partner.

Identifying the "Nasties" Before They Become Your Problem
Our reports don't just list facts; they provide a roadmap for your investment. We are particularly vigilant about regional issues that can derail a purchase or lead to unexpected costs, including:
- Radon Gas: A naturally occurring gas common in certain Somerset postcodes.
- Japanese Knotweed: Identifying this invasive species before it affects your insurance.
- Cavity Wall Tie Failure: A critical check for pre-1981 properties in our area.
From Studio Flats to Country Estates
We have experience across the entire residential spectrum. Whether you are a first-time buyer looking at a modest apartment in Midsomer Norton or an investor purchasing a multi-million pound estate in the West Wiltshire countryside, we apply the same level of thorough, professional scrutiny.
"We trust his professional judgement and always feel in a safe pair of hands... his approach is extremely insightful and thorough."
A Personal and Approachable Service
We know that buying a home is one of the most stressful experiences you'll face. That’s why we pride ourselves on being approachable. We are well-known among local agents for our friendly manner, and we are always happy to discuss technical matters in plain English.
Our goal is to help you use our findings to negotiate a fair price or, in some cases, think twice about taking on a property that might become a financial burden.
