Property Surveys in Reigate – Built Around Your Needs
We specialise in helping Reigate homebuyers get a true picture of a property's condition – inside, outside, and even above with our drone inspections.
Our services include:
RICS Level 2 Home Buyer Survey
Ideal for newer properties in reasonable condition. We highlight urgent defects, safety concerns, and legal issues that might affect your purchase, all in a concise, easy-to-understand format.
RICS Level 3 Building Survey
Recommended for older, altered or unique homes. This survey goes deeper, with a full structural overview, detailed defect analysis, and advice on repairs and maintenance. We also use a traffic-light system to help prioritise issues.
Drone Roof Inspections
Included as standard in both Level 2 and Level 3 surveys. Our drone technology allows us to inspect chimneys, tiles, and upper elevations, focusing on areas that other surveyors may miss or note as 'not visible.
Why Work with a Local Reigate Surveyor?
Reigate has a rich mix of property styles, from Victorian terraces and Edwardian semis to post-war builds and modern apartments. Having surveyed homes on streets like Deerings Road and Greystones Drive, we know the common defects to look for and how local construction types behave over time.
Every survey is carried out personally by Jon Charlesworth FRICS – a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and an experienced RICS assessor. Jon combines deep technical knowledge with a calm, straight-talking manner that clients regularly describe as reassuring, helpful and friendly.
Real Example – Helping a Buyer Save Thousands
We recently inspected a late-Victorian semi in central Reigate. The buyer had concerns about the roof, and rightly so. Using our drone, we identified significant frost damage to the tiles. Our report gave the buyer the confidence – and evidence – to renegotiate the price, offsetting the cost of roof repairs.
Survey Prices – Transparent and Competitive
We offer fair, fixed fees tailored to your property’s size and complexity, all surveys include drone inspection where appropriate.
- Level 2 Home Buyer Survey – from £625 + VAT
Level 3 Building Survey – from £975 + VAT

Frequently Asked Questions
Which survey is right for me?
If your property is over 90 years old, altered, or listed, go for the more detailed Level 3. For newer homes in good condition, Level 2 is often enough.
Isn’t my mortgage valuation sufficient?
No – that’s for your lender. A survey is for you. It helps you avoid costly surprises.
Can I use the survey to renegotiate?
Yes. If serious defects are found, many buyers use the report to adjust the offer or request repairs.
Who carries out the surveys?
All surveys are carried out by Jon Charlesworth FRICS. You're in safe, expert hands from start to finish.
Are you insured and RICS-regulated?
Absolutely. We’re fully insured and regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
