The Officers Mess, Royston Road, Duxford, Cambridge, CB22 4QH, Duxford
With 30+ years of local experience, we provide independent RICS surveys that go deeper. From drone roof inspections to damp expertise, we work solely for you—not the bank or the estate agent—to ensure your East Anglian property purchase is a secure one.
Truly Independent Advice for Your Peace of Mind
We believe a survey should be for the buyer, and the buyer alone. Unlike many firms, Phillips & Co is not owned by or affiliated with any estate agents, insurance companies, or mortgage lenders. This means we have no "onerous targets" for how many surveys we must complete in a day. We take the time your potential home deserves, ensuring a thorough inspection and a report delivered with speed and precision.
Led by 30 Years of Local Expertise
Every survey we undertake is carried out in person by Neil Phillips MRICS. With over three decades of local knowledge across Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, and Essex, Neil understands the specific nuances of the regional housing market. We are proud members of the:
- RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors)
- ISVA (Independent Surveyors and Valuers Association)
- PCA (Property Care Association)
We Don't "Specialise in Recommending Specialists"
It is a common frustration: hiring a surveyor only to be told to hire three more experts. We do things differently. We carry an extensive array of high-tech equipment as standard to give you answers, not more questions. Our toolkit includes:
- Drone Technology: CAA-regulated roof surveys to see what others can't.
- Advanced Diagnostics: Sophisticated damp and humidity testing tools.
- Visual Tech: Thermal imaging and elevated cameras for inaccessible areas.

Specialists in Period Properties and Historic Homes
Older buildings require a different touch. We specialise in period property surveys, offering expert advice on maintenance, energy retrofitting, and the unique damp issues that affect historic fabric. Whether you are buying a thatched cottage in Saffron Walden or a Victorian terrace in Cambridge, we provide the impartial, accurate advice you need to make an informed decision.
"Our fees may not be the lowest, but our service is unique. We provide the clarity you need to move forward with confidence."
We produce clearly written, easy-to-understand reports. Neil is also happy to provide verbal feedback on the day of the inspection and offer future advice at no extra cost, ensuring you are never left in the dark about your investment.
