Home Surveys
We provide RICS Home Survey Reports for a wide range of properties in Cirencester, the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, and Warwickshire. We provide a range of survey services, as outlined below.
If you’re buying a home, it’s highly recommended that you have a survey done before you enter into a contract. A survey can potentially save you money. If there are problems, you may wish to renegotiate the sale price to take into account repairs, or you may decide not to proceed.
Providing excellent support to you, as our client, is one of our core values. We help you to clearly understand the property you are purchasing and pride ourselves on the relationships we build with our clients. Throughout the process, you will always speak directly to the MRICS surveyor undertaking the survey.

Selling a Home
Pre-sale survey reports provide an objective view on the condition of your home that can provide insight from a purchaser’s perspective. These reports can:
• Highlight underlying defects that may delay the sale or cause significant renegotiations.
• Help identify the correct documentation needed to support the sale, e.g., compliance documentation, services tests, guarantees and warranties, etc.
• Provide advice on repairs and maintenance that could facilitate the sale.

Staying at Home
A survey of the current condition of your home will warn you of defects and risks, to help you avoid escalating repair and maintenance costs in the future. This report can also help inform planned refurbishment works and large-scale alterations.
