Harveys Surveyors Ltd

Thirty Years of West Country Expertise

Whether you are purchasing a modern apartment in Plymouth, a thatched cottage in the South Hams, or a commercial unit in Cornwall, your property journey deserves expert guidance. We are Harveys Chartered Surveyors, a local, independent firm built on over three decades of experience in the Devon and Cornwall construction industry.

Founded by Neil Harvey, a Chartered Building Surveyor and Registered Valuer, our business was created to provide a more personal, responsive alternative to large corporate organisations. We believe that every client deserves clear, professional advice that isn't just a tick-box exercise, but a comprehensive tool for making informed financial decisions.

Why Homeowners and Investors Choose Us

We know that the property buying process is stressful. Our goal is to provide clarity and speed without ever compromising on the depth of our investigation.

• Meet Us On-Site: Unlike many firms, we offer you the opportunity to meet your surveyor at the property immediately after the inspection. We can walk you through any significant issues in person, allowing you to see the problem and discuss costs and solutions right away.
• Same-Day Verbal Reports: We don't make you wait for the paperwork to understand the big picture. We provide a verbal report on major issues the very same day as the survey.
• Local Knowledge: Having surveyed properties across the West Country for 30 years, we understand the specific regional risks, from coastal weathering to local construction methods.

Specialists in Residential and Commercial Property

Our expertise spans the entire property spectrum. We tailor our reports to your specific needs, budget, and the unique characteristics of the building in question.

Detailed Building Surveys

For older, larger, or non-standard properties, our Building Surveys provide an in-depth analysis that goes far beyond a standard snapshot. We look deep into the structure to ensure you aren't facing hidden costs.

Homebuyer Reports & Homebuyer Plus

Perfect for conventional properties in reasonable condition, these reports provide a clear, concise overview of the property's condition and value, helping you negotiate with confidence.

Professional Valuations

As RICS Registered Valuers, we provide robust, ethical valuations for a variety of requirements, including probate, matrimonial disputes, and pre-purchase inspections.

"Our aim is to provide you with the advice you need within a realistic timeframe, allowing you the time to reflect and make an informed choice about your purchase."
