Christopher Moran Residential Surveying

Award-Winning Expertise Across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire

We aren't just another surveying firm. Led by Christopher Moran, the winner of the RICS Matrics Residential Surveyor of the Year 2024/2025, we bring a nationally recognised standard of excellence to every property we inspect. Based in Sheffield, we serve homeowners and buyers across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire with a commitment to clarity and professional ethics.

Buying a home is likely your biggest investment. With RICS research showing buyers spend an average of £5,750 on unexpected repairs, our mission is to ensure you aren't left with a "money pit." We provide the insight you need to negotiate fairly or walk away if the risks are too high.

Why Homebuyers Trust Christopher Moran

We believe a survey report should be a tool, not a technical manual. Our bespoke reports are designed to be clear and understandable, featuring annotated photographs that show you exactly what we see. We don't just send a PDF and disappear; we are here to guide you through the process.

High-Tech Inspections with Our Unique Drone Service

We go where others can't. We offer a unique drone survey service to inspect high-level roofs, chimneys, and hard-to-reach areas that traditional ladders simply cannot reach. This modern approach ensures that no defect is hidden from view, giving you a comprehensive picture of the property's exterior health.

Choosing the Right Level of Support

Whether you are buying a modern semi-detached or a sprawling period property, we have the expertise to guide you through the right choice of inspection:

• RICS Level 2 (Home Survey): Our most popular choice, ideal for standard properties in reasonable condition.
• RICS Level 3 (Building Survey): A deep dive for older, larger, or complex buildings, or those you plan to renovate.
• Help to Buy Valuations: Professional, RICS-compliant valuations for those looking to repay their equity loan.

"We ensure customer satisfaction is at the heart of our business, which is why we’ve been named one of the three best surveying firms in Yorkshire for three years running."

Our Commitment to You

Once your report is delivered—typically within 48 hours for a Level 2 survey—we don't just leave you to it. Every client receives a 30-minute phone call at no extra cost to discuss the findings. We will explain any defects, suggest necessary specialist investigations, and highlight any safety issues, ensuring you have total peace of mind before your transaction takes place.
