Residential Property
Tailored Surveys for Every Property Type
Not every house is the same, and neither are our surveys. We specialise in two core RICS levels to suit your specific needs:
- RICS Level 2 Survey: Ideal for modern, conventional houses, flats, or bungalows. We provide a clear, concise report with "traffic light" condition ratings to highlight urgent defects.
- RICS Level 3 Survey: Essential for older, larger, or significantly altered buildings. This is a deep dive into the property's structure, identifying hidden flaws and potential future issues.
Local Knowledge from Bridgwater to Yeovil
We live and work in the areas we serve. Our deep understanding of local building styles and common regional issues—from the coastal properties of Weston-super-Mare to the rural charms of the Mendips—means we spot things others might miss.
We cover a wide range of locations, including:
- Taunton & Wellington
- Bridgwater & Weston-super-Mare
- Yeovil, Chard & Crewkerne
- Glastonbury, Wells & Somerton
- Minehead & rural East Devon
"We went with Ben because of the reviews from other first time buyers, and he lived up to his reputation. Really clear report and very prompt and helpful with any questions I had." — Faye T., Client Review
