David Seymour Surveying

At RICS Home Surveys and Help to Buy Valuations in Nottinghamshire, we believe that buying a home should be an exciting milestone, not a source of stress. Based in Carlton, Nottingham, we provide the clarity and confidence you need to make informed decisions about your property investment, helping you avoid unwanted surprises and costly repairs.

Fast-Track Help to Buy & Shared Ownership Valuations

We specialise in providing RICS regulated valuation reports for Help to Buy redemptions, Shared Ownership staircasing, and Local Authority Right to Buy. Having worked extensively with Target HCA and numerous Housing Associations over the years, we understand exactly what is required for a compliant report.

Our Valuation Promise: We offer a flat fee of £250 (inclusive of VAT) and a guaranteed turnaround time of 3 working days from the date of inspection, regardless of the size or location of your property.

Choosing the Right Survey for Your New Home

Every property is different, which is why we offer a range of RICS regulated inspections tailored to the age and condition of your potential purchase:

• Level 1: Condition Report – Best for modern, conventional houses or flats in good condition.
• Level 2: HomeBuyer Report – Our most popular choice for properties built from 1900 onwards, available with or without a market valuation.
• Level 3: Building Survey – A comprehensive, deep-dive inspection essential for older, extended, or significantly developed properties.

The Advantage of a Local, Independent Firm

We believe that local knowledge is irreplaceable. National panels and online-only services often sub-contract work to the highest bidder; we never do. When you hire us, you get a single point of contact and a surveyor who knows the East Midlands market inside out.

Going Above and Beyond the Standard Inspection

We want you to feel fully supported throughout the process. That is why we offer additional services to give you a clearer picture of your property:

1. High-Definition Pole Camera Inspections: We can provide HD imagery of high-level surfaces, such as chimney stacks and roof coverings, that are often missed in standard surveys.
2. Pre & Post-Inspection Consultation: We are always happy to discuss your specific concerns before the survey and provide initial verbal feedback immediately following the inspection.
3. Tailored Reporting: If you have specific queries about a property's potential for renovation or a particular defect, we ensure those questions are answered in detail.
