Christopher Moran Residential Surveying

Buying a home is likely the biggest investment you will ever make. We are here to ensure you don't inherit a list of expensive repairs. Led by Christopher Moran, the RICS Matrics Residential Surveyor of the Year 2024/2025, our team provides the clarity and detail you need to move forward with total peace of mind.

We aren't just another surveying firm; we are a multi-award-winning practice recognised for our commitment to quality and client care. For three years running, we have been named one of the three best surveying firms in Yorkshire, backed by over 290 five-star Google reviews.

Why Homeowners in Sheffield and Derbyshire Choose Us

We believe a survey report should be easy to read and actionable. That is why we produce bespoke reports rather than generic templates. Our reports include clear, annotated photographs so you can see exactly what we see, alongside expert advice on environmental issues and potential defects.

The Drone Advantage: Seeing What Others Miss

Traditional surveys are often limited by what can be seen from a ladder or ground level. We go further. We offer a unique drone survey service that allows us to inspect high-level roof coverings, chimney stacks, and guttering in high resolution. This technology often identifies defects that would otherwise remain hidden until they become costly problems.

Our Simple, Stress-Free Process

We know that the property market moves fast, so we have designed our service to be as responsive as possible:

1. Bespoke Quoting: We help you decide between a Level 2 (Home Survey) or Level 3 (Building Survey) based on the property's age and condition.
2. Thorough Inspection: We conduct a non-invasive but meticulous check of the property, including roof spaces and outbuildings where safe.
3. Rapid Delivery: You receive your Level 2 report within 48 hours of the survey (5 days for Level 3).
4. Expert Consultation: Every survey includes a 30-minute phone call at no extra cost to discuss the findings and answer your questions.

"Our mission is to provide clear, understandable RICS surveys that empower buyers. We find the defects so you can negotiate the price or ensure repairs are made before you exchange."
