CTA Surveyors

Why Independence Matters in Your Property Journey

We believe that when you are making the biggest investment of your life, you deserve advice that is 100% impartial. Unlike many firms, CTA Group is not owned by an estate agency or a large corporate group.

We work solely for you, ensuring our findings are never influenced by third-party interests. From our offices in East Horsley, we serve homeowners and investors across the Surrey Downs, North Hampshire, and South London.

Seeing What Others Miss with Aerial UAV Technology

We are proud to lead the way in Surrey with our dedicated aerial division. Using a fully trained and CAA-licensed RPQ-s pilot, we conduct innovative drone surveys to inspect roofs, chimney stacks, and outbuildings that are otherwise inaccessible.

By combining high-resolution aerial footage with the expertise of a qualified RICS Building Surveyor, we identify defects that traditional ground-level inspections might overlook. It is a cost-effective, safe, and incredibly thorough way to understand the true condition of a property’s exterior.

Choosing the Right Survey for Your New Home

Whether you are buying a modern apartment or a period cottage, we help you move in with confidence. We offer two primary levels of residential survey:

• RICS Homebuyer Survey & Valuation: A concise, economical report and valuation ideal for standard properties in reasonable condition.
• Full Building Survey: Our most comprehensive service. We recommend this for older, dilapidated, or extensively altered properties where a deep dive into the structure is essential.

Expert Support for Extensions and Developments

Our expertise extends far beyond the initial purchase. We act as professional representatives for both developers and homeowners during the construction phase.

• Project Management: We can provide a "watching brief" or act as full Contract Administrators to keep your build on track.
• Party Wall Matters: If you are building near a boundary, we navigate the complexities of the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 to protect your interests and ensure all legal notices are served correctly.
• Technical Plans: We prepare detailed specifications and plans for local authority planning and building regulation approval.

"Before legal commitment, know exactly where you stand. Our mission is to protect you from costly surprises and unnecessary liability through expert, independent oversight."
