FAQs

Find answers to common questions about our valuation and survey services.
What is the difference between a Homebuyer and Building Survey?

A Homebuyer Report (Level 2) is a standard mid-level inspection focusing on major issues, while a Building Survey (Level 3) is a detailed, in-depth analysis suitable for older or complex properties.

Why choose a RICS property survey?

RICS surveyors are highly qualified and regulated, ensuring your survey meets professional standards and is widely accepted by lenders, solicitors, and property professionals.

When should I get a property survey?

A survey should be booked as early as possible during the buying process, before exchanging contracts, or whenever you’re managing property risk, maintenance, or planning improvements.

How long does a survey take?

Survey times vary with property size and type. Most Homebuyer Reports take a few hours on site, with a full written report delivered within a few days. Detailed Building Surveys may take longer.

How much does a property survey cost?

Costs depend on survey type, property size, and complexity. We provide transparent pricing and clear quotes before any work begins.

Do you provide surveys across Essex?

Yes, Morgan Sloane provides professional property surveyor services across Essex.

What happens if issues are found in a survey?

All findings are clearly documented, with recommendations for repair, further investigation, or risk management. You can use this information to negotiate, plan maintenance, or make informed decisions.

Are new build snagging surveys necessary?

Yes. Even newly built homes can have defects or incomplete work. A snagging survey highlights these issues before completion or handover.
