About Know Your Home Ltd

Your Partners in Property Decisions

Whether you are standing on the doorstep of a potential new home or looking at your current four walls and imagining something better, we are here to provide the clarity you need. At Know Your Home, we combine technical surveying expertise with creative architectural design to ensure your property decisions are backed by facts and vision.

Your home is your biggest investment. We make sure every decision you make—whether buying or changing—is the right one.

RICS Accredited Inspections for Total Peace of Mind

Buying a house is a significant risk if you don't know what lies beneath the surface. A standard mortgage valuation is for the lender, not for you; it often ignores serious defects that don't affect the loan. We provide the deep-dive information you actually need:

  • RICS Homebuyer Inspections: Perfect for modern properties in reasonable condition.
  • Full Building Surveys: Comprehensive analysis for older, larger, or non-standard homes.
  • Negotiation Leverage: Our reports don't just give you peace of mind; they provide the evidence you need to negotiate a fair price if issues are discovered.

From Vision to Reality: Design and Planning

We believe you shouldn't feel trapped in an unsuitable home. Most properties have untapped potential to be extended or altered to suit modern lives. If you are considering moving, we can help you assess if staying and improving is the better financial and lifestyle option.

We provide a comprehensive planning and design service, including:

  1. Full Architectural Drawings: Detailed plans for building work, extensions, and alterations.
  2. Planning Applications: We handle the documentation and submission process to take the stress off your shoulders.
  3. Expert Consultations: We work closely with experienced structural engineers and can provide a network of trusted contacts for all aspects of your project.

Why We Are Different

We offer a personalised service that goes beyond a standard checklist. We take the time to explain every aspect of our findings and answer your specific questions.
