Choosing the Right Property Survey
If you are buying a property in the New Forest it is important to obtain the correct survey so that structural defects, dampness or maintenance issues are identified before committing to purchase.
Property in the New Forest
The New Forest contains a wide variety of property types including historic cottages, rural homes, period properties and modern residential developments.
Many properties within the New Forest may be older or located within conservation areas. Our surveys identify potential issues such as dampness, structural movement, timber decay and maintenance requirements so buyers understand the condition of the property.

Property Survey Questions
What does a RICS Chartered Surveyor do?
A RICS Chartered Surveyor provides professional advice on property condition, valuation and construction matters. Surveys help identify structural defects, maintenance issues and risks before purchasing property.
Do I need a survey when buying a property?
A property survey is strongly recommended when buying a home. Surveys identify potential defects such as dampness, structural movement, roof defects or maintenance issues which may affect the property’s value or future repair costs.
What is the difference between a Level 2 and Level 3 survey?
A RICS Level 2 Home Survey is suitable for conventional properties in reasonable condition. A RICS Level 3 Building Survey is more detailed and is typically recommended for older, larger or altered properties.
How long does a survey take?
Most property inspections take several hours depending on the size and complexity of the building. Reports are normally provided within a few days following the inspection.
