Led by Robert Willson, FRA Surveyors brings 20+ years of elite experience—from the Grosvenor Estate to the American Embassy—to your property. We provide RICS surveys, party wall advice, and defect diagnosis across West Sussex and London with a focus on clear, actionable repair costs.
Two Decades of Expertise from Horsham to London
We aren't just another surveying firm; we are a dedicated team led by Robert Willson, a Chartered Surveyor with over 20 years of post-qualification experience at the highest levels of the UK property industry.
Before establishing FRA Surveyors in 2015, Robert honed his craft working for the prestigious Grosvenor Estate and managing major works on landmark projects, including the American Embassy in London. Today, we bring that same level of elite technical scrutiny to every property we inspect, whether it’s a modern apartment in Brighton or a period home in West Sussex.
Comprehensive RICS Surveys Tailored to Your Move
We understand that buying a property is likely your biggest investment. We provide clear, jargon-free RICS residential surveys designed to give you total peace of mind:
- Level 1 Snagging Surveys: Essential for new builds to ensure your developer has met the required standards.
- Level 2 Homebuyers Surveys: The standard for post-1930s homes, highlighting risks and urgent defects.
- Level 3 Building Condition Surveys: Our flagship service. We provide a deep dive into the property’s structure, including advice on remedial repairs and—crucially—budget costs to help you negotiate with confidence.
Specialist Advice for Complex Property Matters
Beyond standard surveys, we are known for our technical expertise in resolving specific property headaches. If you are planning works or dealing with a failing building element, we can help.
"We don't just find problems; we find solutions. By working alongside chartered structural engineers, we provide a seamless path from defect diagnosis to structural design and repair."
