The purpose of a survey is to investigate the property, inform you of the condition of the building, and highlight any major concerns to minimise risk and provide peace of mind.

Easton Bevins offers a full range of property surveys and can advise on which type will best meet your needs.This will largely depend on the type, age and condition of the property although your own personal requirements will obviously influence your decision.

Our expertise, and the in-depth nature of our survey reports, allow you to make a better-informed decision on how to proceed. You may decide to reconsider your purchase, or negotiate a price reduction to address costs to repair defects.

The money spent on the survey can save you thousands of pounds, making it a very worthwhile investment.
