Leo Horsfield Surveying

Since 2006, we have operated as an independent, family-run practice dedicated to the health and safety of your property. We aren't just surveyors; we are a combined team of Chartered Surveyors and Consulting Structural Engineers. This dual expertise allows us to look deeper into a building's bones than a standard survey might allow.

Whether you are buying a modern apartment in Manchester, a commercial unit in Birmingham, or a sensitive historic property in the Sussex countryside, we provide the technical clarity you need to move forward with confidence.

Why Our Dual Expertise Matters

Most firms specialise in either surveying or engineering. We do both. This means when we spot a crack or a damp patch, we don't just tell you it's there—we have the in-house engineering knowledge to tell you why it's happening and how to fix it.

• No Subcontracting: Every inspection is carried out by our own accredited staff.
• Regulated Excellence: We are fully regulated by the RICS and operate as a Chartered Building Consultancy.
• Comprehensive Reporting: From HomeBuyer Reports to complex structural design for loft conversions and extensions.

Specialists in Historic and Listed Buildings

We have a particular passion for the UK’s architectural heritage. Our director, Simon Horsfield, specialises in defects analysis for unique and historical properties. We understand the nuances of traditional construction methods and the specific requirements of conservation areas, ensuring your heritage investment is protected for the future.

Meet Our Leadership Team

Our practice is built on the strength of our people. We pride ourselves on being approachable and professional, moving away from the stiff, corporate feel of larger firms.
