We are Arnold & Baldwin, RICS Chartered Surveyors dedicated to protecting your investment. With 6,500+ surveys completed annually and a 4.5-star rating, we’re known for forensic Level 3 reports and drone technology that uncover the hidden defects mortgage valuations miss.
We believe that buying a property shouldn't be a gamble. Most buyers don't realise that a mortgage valuation is for the lender's benefit, not yours—in fact, many lenders don't even send a human to inspect the site anymore. At Arnold & Baldwin, we step in to be your eyes and ears on the ground, uncovering the hidden defects that could cost you an average of £5,750 in unexpected repairs.
Our mission is simple: we provide honest, approachable, and forensic property advice to ensure you never purchase blind. Whether you are a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, we give you the data you need to negotiate with confidence.

Forensic Level 3 Surveys for Complex Properties
For older properties, listed buildings, or homes requiring significant renovation, our RICS Level 3 Building Survey is our most requested service. We perform a deep-dive, forensic examination of the property’s condition, including lofts, cellars, and outbuildings.
We don't just find problems; we provide solutions. Our reports include:
- In-depth defect diagnosis
- Estimated repair costs to help your budgeting
- Technical advice on planned alterations
- A dedicated section for your solicitor to highlight legal risks
Modern Tech: Seeing What Others Miss
We stay ahead of the curve by integrating modern technology into traditional surveying. For properties with difficult-to-access roofs or high-level masonry, we offer drone survey options. This allows us to capture crystal-clear imagery of areas that would otherwise remain hidden, ensuring no structural issue goes unnoticed before you exchange contracts.
Clear Guidance for Modern Homes
If you are buying a conventional home built after 1960, our RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer Report is designed for you. We use a clear, intuitive "traffic light" rating system to identify urgent repairs and serious defects. It’s professional insight delivered in an accessible format, helping you understand exactly what you’re buying without the jargon.
