INHOUSE SURVEYING AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN LIMITED

Why the "InHouse" Perspective Matters

We aren't just surveyors, and we aren't just designers. We are a family-run practice that sits at the intersection of both disciplines. Because we spend our days inspecting how buildings deteriorate and identifying weaknesses in original structures, we have a unique advantage when it comes to designing new spaces.

When we design your extension or remodel, we aren't just thinking about aesthetics; we’re thinking about durability, future maintenance, and structural integrity. We use our surveying expertise to ensure your new project avoids the common pitfalls we see in the field.

Buying with Confidence: RICS Level 2 Surveys

Buying a home is likely the biggest investment you'll ever make. While your bank’s valuation protects the lender, our RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Surveys protect you.

We specialise in traditionally built properties from 1830 onwards. Our reports are designed to be jargon-free and easy to navigate, featuring:

• Traffic Light Ratings: A clear 1-2-3 system to highlight what needs urgent attention and what can wait.
• High-Resolution Imagery: Every report includes extensive, labelled colour photographs—taken with high-quality zoom lenses—so you can see exactly what we see, from high-level roof defects to hidden damp.
• Negotiating Power: Our insights help you understand the true condition of a property, often providing the evidence needed to renegotiate a purchase price.

Architectural Design Led by Matthew

If you’re looking to improve rather than move, our architectural design service, led by Matthew, takes you from the first sketch to the final approval. We have a proven track record of working within Conservation Areas and navigating the complexities of local planning departments.

"Matthew provided an excellent architectural solution from start to finish. He understood our brief perfectly and handled the planning and building regulations process keeping us well informed." — Chloe D.
