Colin J Romain Surveys Ltd

Buying a home is the biggest financial decision you will ever make. We ensure you aren't met with any unpleasant surprises after you've picked up the keys. As a small, independent practice, we don't have the restrictions of a large firm, allowing us the time to fully inspect your property and carefully consider every detail of our findings.

Expert Insight Across Bristol, Bath, and Swindon

With over 20 years of post-qualification experience, we have spent our careers navigating the property landscapes of the SN, BA, and BS postcode areas. Whether it is a modern apartment in Bristol, a townhouse in Swindon, or a traditional stone property in Bath, our deep local knowledge ensures your valuation and defect analysis are rooted in reality.

Why Homeowners Choose Our Independent Practice

We believe in a service that is both professional and personal. Having previously held management roles in some of the UK's largest property firms, we have taken that high-level expertise and combined it with the agility and care of a private practice.

Fast Turnarounds and Direct Communication

We know that the property market moves quickly and delays can be stressful. That is why we aim to inspect your property within 1 to 2 days of your instruction. Even better, we issue your report via email the very next day.

We don't just send a PDF and disappear. We are always happy to discuss the findings over the phone immediately after the inspection, ensuring you have total clarity and can ask any questions before you commit to your purchase.

Tailored Reports for Every Property

• RICS HomeBuyer Reports: Ideal for conventional properties in reasonable condition. This includes a clear, colour-coded condition rating, a market valuation, and a reinstatement cost for insurance purposes.
• Full Building Surveys: A deep dive into older, larger, or more complex buildings. We provide technical advice on defects, construction materials, and the specific work needed to put things right.
• Specific Defect Reports: If you only have concerns about a particular issue—such as a specific crack or damp patch—we provide focused inspections to give you an expert verdict without the need for a full survey.

"As an independent practice, we take the time to fully consider the content of every report we provide, ensuring our clients receive an informed and expert view."
