 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. h&s Surveyors conducted a level 2 survey ahead of our house purchase last year. Their communication was excellent from start to finish, and their report was thorough and very well written. One year on, the report describes everything we've learned from living in our home and we haven't hesitated to recommend h&s Surveyors to our friends and family. Hopefully, we won't need to move home for some time, but when we do, we will use h&s Surveyors.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a Grade 3 survey conducted as part of the process of purchasing a house, and we couldn’t be happier with the service provided! The survey was incredibly thorough, detailed, and professionally executed, giving us a clear and comprehensive understanding of the property's condition.

The report was not only easy to understand but also highlighted important areas to address, which has been invaluable in helping us plan for possible future works. Chris' expertise, attention to detail, and willingness to answer any questions made the whole process seamless and reassuring.

We truly feel that this survey was worth every penny and gave us the confidence to move forward with our purchase. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and meticulous survey services!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Survey was promptly booked with helpful admin staff responding quickly by email. Survey was detailed (including plenty of photos) and arrived within the time promised. Seems to be much better value for level 2 surveys than other local providers. Would recommend - thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was the second time using H&M Surveyors.  They were quick to respond to my initial enquiry and also arranging a date for the survey. Chris phoned me beforehand to ask if I had any particular concerns about the property. The level 2 homebuyers report was provided in the timescale advised and Chris was also happy to discuss the findings of the survey once I had seen the report, which I found very useful. Chris was friendly and explained everything I needed to know.  Would definitely recommend h&s and will be happy to use again in the future.

Surveyor in Paignton

A property purchase is a huge decision; it may well be the largest financial transaction you will ever make and your home could be the biggest asset you will ever own. That’s why it is so important to get it just right.

Once you identify a suitable property, you need to make sure it’s worth investing in. There’s a host of important questions regarding the age, condition and method of construction of the building you are thinking of buying that must be answered to your satisfaction.

To the layman, existing building defects or structural problems may not be obvious to the untrained eye. However, issues such as rising dampness, dry rot or subsidence, to mention a few, can seriously impact the value of your home or its suitability as an investment vehicle. Armed with accurate information, you can then decide whether the property is likely to achieve a good return, and either proceed with or withdraw from the transaction.
