Arnold & Baldwin Chartered Surveyors

Many 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 surveyor to the property anymore. At Arnold & Baldwin, we believe you shouldn't have to purchase blind.

Our mission is to uncover the hidden defects that could cost you thousands. On average, buyers who skip a survey face £5,750 in unexpected repairs after moving in. We are here to ensure you aren't one of them, providing the forensic insight needed to negotiate price reductions or walk away from a bad investment.

We don't just skim the surface. Our surveyors are known for their thoroughness, providing detailed analysis of all accessible areas, including lofts, cellars, and outbuildings.

For hard-to-reach areas, we offer drone survey options. This allows us to capture crystal-clear imagery of roof coverings, chimney stacks, and guttering that would otherwise remain invisible. Our reports use a simple traffic light rating system, making it easy for you to prioritise urgent repairs and budget for the future.

We are more than just a surveying firm; we are a team committed to our community. We are proud partners of Make-A-Wish UK, helping to grant life-changing wishes for critically ill children through our annual fundraising initiatives.

When you hire us, you aren't just getting a report; you're getting a dedicated partner. We provide a special section in every report specifically for your solicitor, highlighting legal concerns and queries to raise with the vendor, ensuring your entire home-buying team is working with the best possible information.
