If you’re about to buy a property in Harrow you’ll want to ensure that you enter the transaction with your eyes open. It’s considered reasonable for a buyer to renegotiate the price that they’re paying, sometimes by many thousands of pounds, if an issue is discovered that a layperson would not be aware of but that can only happen if you commission a detailed survey from one of our RICS qualified experienced surveyors.
We offer both RICS Level 2 (Homebuyer) and Level 3 (Building Survey) Reports and can advise on which will best suit your needs. Following the inspection, your surveyor will make themselves available to discuss the contents and provide any clarification required.
Below you will find links to the hundreds of positive reviews we’ve received from owners who’ve commissioned surveys from us on properties in and around Harrow. Call today to take advantage of our expertise.

Learn more about the benefits of commissioning a detailed survey report and how our team of experienced surveyors can provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision about whether to proceed.
The Level 2 (Homebuyer) Report is designed to provide buyers with concise information about the condition of a property. This is achieved by giving elements a Condition Rating based on the traffic light system and summarising them at the front of the report.
The Level 3 (Building Survey) is the most detailed of the RICS Home Survey Reports and is suitable for all residential properties. The report can be customised and enhanced with the addition of a valuation, feasibility study or ballpark repair costs.
If there's an issue with a property that you already own which requires investigation, our Building Surveyors can provide a Specific Defect Report. The report will provide an expert opinion on the cause and useful guidance on the next steps.
