RES Property Surveyors

We are a boutique property consultancy based in London, offering a level of detail and personal service that larger firms often struggle to match. Our team is comprised of RICS-accredited surveyors and valuers who bring over a decade of national, cross-sector experience to every instruction.

Whether you are a homeowner navigating a complex lease extension, a developer requiring party wall advice, or an investor seeking commercial valuation, we provide clear, actionable advice without the corporate jargon.

Beyond the Standard Homebuyer Report

We believe a survey should give you a 360-degree vision of your investment. Our reports go significantly beyond the typical RICS structure. We don't just look at the surface; we use a suite of high-tech applications to identify what the naked eye might miss:

• Thermal Imaging Photography: To detect hidden heat loss and moisture.
• Pole Cameras: For close-up inspections of high-level roofs and chimneys.
• Dew Point Analysis: To understand condensation and ventilation risks.
• State-of-the-Art Damp Meters: For precise moisture readings.

Every survey is followed by a personal phone consultation. We want to ensure you understand every defect and its implications before you commit to a purchase.
