Unit 8 Old Forge Court, Colchester Road, Elmstead Market, Colchester, CO7 7EA, Colchester
At Phoenix Surveyors, we only book one survey per day to ensure your future home gets our undivided attention. Serving Essex and Suffolk, we provide RICS Level 2 and 3 reports featuring drone footage of hard-to-reach areas at no additional cost to you.
Your Property Deserves Our Undivided Attention
Buying a home is one of the most significant commitments you will ever make. We believe that such a milestone deserves more than a rushed, "multi-buy" inspection. Unlike many firms that squeeze two or three bookings into a single day, we only book one survey per day.
This allows us to spend as much time as necessary at the property, ensuring every nook and cranny is inspected to RICS standards. We don't rush off to the next appointment; we stay until the job is done right, giving you complete peace of mind.
Seeing What Others Miss with Drone Technology
A picture tells a thousand words, but a view from the sky tells the whole story. We include drone or camera pole inspections of roofs and chimneys at no additional cost where possible. While others might charge extra or skip these hard-to-reach areas entirely, we consider them essential for a modern survey.
- Comprehensive Visuals: We often take between 400 and 900 photos during a single inspection.
- Hidden Defects: From failing chimney flaunching to hidden valley gutters, we find what isn't visible from the ground.
- Clarity for You: We include these high-resolution images in your Level 2 or Level 3 report so you can see exactly what we see.
A Personal Connection from Day One
We know how stressful the buying process can be, especially for first-time buyers. We aren't just a faceless reporting service; we are your partners in this purchase. We are happy to talk you through the process from beginning to end, ensuring you feel confident in your investment.
"We don't believe in sending a digital report the moment we leave the property. We take the time to reflect, study the hundreds of photos taken, and ensure the advice we give is the very best it can be."
On the day of the inspection, you will receive a personal call from your surveyor to give you an immediate overview of any major concerns. Your bespoke report follows within two working days, and we are always available for follow-up calls to talk you through the findings.
