With over 6,500 surveys delivered annually and a 4.5-star reputation, we are the approachable experts you need to protect your investment. From forensic Level 3 Building Surveys to high-tech drone inspections, we uncover the hidden truths that mortgage valuations often miss.
Buying a property is likely the biggest investment you'll ever make. Yet, many buyers rely solely on a mortgage valuation—a document designed to protect the lender, not you. At Arnold & Baldwin, we bridge that gap, providing the forensic insight you need to negotiate with confidence and avoid the average £5,750 in unexpected repair costs faced by those who buy blind.

Forensic Insight: Our RICS Level 3 Building Surveys
If you are eyeing an older property, a listed building, or a project requiring significant renovation, our Level 3 survey is essential. We perform a deep-dive, forensic examination of the structure, including lofts, cellars, and outbuildings.
We don't just list defects; we provide diagnosis and repair cost guidance. This allows you to forecast your budget accurately and, in many cases, negotiate price reductions ranging from £5,000 to £50,000 based on our findings.
Clear, Actionable Advice for Modern Homes
For conventional properties built after 1960, our RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer Report is our most popular choice. We use a systematic inspection process and a clear traffic light rating system to highlight urgent repairs and serious defects.
We make the complex simple. You'll receive a report filled with clear photos and professional insights, ensuring you understand exactly what you are buying before you exchange contracts.
