Surveys of Properties in Rochester
If you’re about to buy a property in Rochester 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 Rochester. 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.

About Rochester
The picturesque town of Rochester sits along the banks of the River Medway, in the heart of Kent. Positioned strategically between Gravesend to the northwest and Edenbridge to the southeast the town is well-connected by road, and the Rochester railway station provides easy access to London and other neighbouring towns.
Among the town’s most iconic landmarks are Rochester Cathedral, a stunning example of Norman architecture, and the historic Rochester Castle known for its breathtaking views of the surrounding area, and more recently hosting concerts for UB40, Craig David and Jools Holland.
The Guildhall Museum offers a glimpse into the town’s past, with its collection of artifacts and exhibitions. Football enthusiasts find solace in supporting Rochester FC, a local football club with a passionate following.
Adding a literary flourish is Rochester’s connection with Charles Dickens, who lived and wrote here. The cobbled streets served as both an inspiration and a backdrop for many of Dickens’ timeless works and the connection is celebrated throughout the town, with various sites and events dedicated to the literary icon. The 2015 adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde brought the town’s scenic beauty to the silver screen.
