"As a first-time buyer, I was nervous about purchasing an older Victorian property in Preston. The surveyor from Preston Surveyor was brilliant - thorough, professional, and explained everything in plain English. Their detailed report identified some issues that saved me thousands in negotiations. Highly recommend!"
Sarah Mitchell - Fulwood
"Excellent service from start to finish. Needed a Level 3 building survey on an Edwardian property near the River Ribble. The surveyor's local knowledge was invaluable - they spotted potential flood risk issues and subsidence concerns that weren't obvious. Professional service at a fair price."

"Got a survey done on a 1930s semi in Cottam. The surveyor was punctual, polite and very knowledgeable. The report was detailed but easy to understand, highlighting both major concerns and minor defects. Made me feel confident proceeding with the purchase. Great value for money!"
Emma Roberts - Cottam
"Needed a commercial property survey for our office building in Preston. Preston Surveyor provided a comprehensive condition survey that exceeded expectations. Their understanding of commercial properties and property management issues was impressive. Will definitely use again."

Common questions about property surveys and our services
A Level 2 home buyers survey (RICS Home Survey Level 2) is suitable for conventional properties in reasonable condition. It highlights major defects and urgent issues but doesn't include detailed inspection of hidden areas. A Level 3 building survey is more comprehensive, ideal for older properties, Victorian and Edwardian homes, or properties with known issues. It includes detailed inspection of all accessible areas, structural analysis, and advice on ongoing maintenance and repairs.
The inspection of the property typically takes 2-4 hours depending on the size and type of survey. For a standard Level 2 survey on a typical 3-bedroom house, expect around 2-3 hours. A comprehensive Level 3 building survey on a larger or older property may take 3-4 hours or more. You'll receive your detailed survey report within 5-7 working days.
Yes! Even new build properties can have defects. Our snagging survey identifies construction issues, finishing problems, and items that don't meet building regulations. This gives you leverage to have problems fixed before completion. Many home buyers assume new homes are perfect, but our surveyors regularly find issues in modern developments that need addressing.
Absolutely. All our surveyors are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and are RICS regulated. We're also accredited under CIOB and RPSA.
