Palmer's Surveyors Ltd

We are a family-run business that prides itself on a personal, friendly service. When you hire us, you aren't getting a generic corporate report; you are getting the direct expertise of Geoff Palmer BSc DIPArb MISVA MRICS, a Chartered Surveyor with over 38 years of experience surveying homes across the South Coast.

We understand that buying a home is one of the most significant investments you will ever make. Our mission is to provide the clarity and transparency you need to move forward with confidence.

Detailed Reports Delivered the Very Next Day

We know that speed is essential when you're in the middle of a property transaction. That’s why we commit to a 24-hour turnaround for our written reports. But speed never comes at the expense of detail.

Our reports are designed to be easy to read and highly visual, featuring:

• Extensive Photography: We include over 100 photographs in our Level 3 reports to show you exactly what we see.
• Traffic Light System: A clear, colour-coded rating for every element of the building so you can prioritise repairs.
• Personal Consultation: You will receive a phone call immediately after the survey to discuss the main findings before the report even hits your inbox.
• Drone Technology: Used at our discretion for Level 3 surveys to inspect high-level areas that are otherwise inaccessible.

From Sandbanks Modernism to New Forest Heritage

Our experience spans the entire architectural spectrum of the region. Whether you are buying a designer extended Victorian house in Talbot Woods or a luxury apartment overlooking the Sandbanks ferry, we have the local knowledge to advise you correctly.

We have a particular interest in historic and complex constructions. We are frequently called upon to inspect:

• Timber-framed buildings and traditional thatched cottages.
• Period masonry, including buildings constructed from Greensand, natural stone, and glazed brickwork.
• High-value estates in locations like Brockenhurst, Lymington, and the wider New Forest.
