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.

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!

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!

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.

Each property purchase constitutes a major financial investment, so it is plain common sense to ensure that you are getting value for money. Kingsbridge is a vibrant South Devon town that is popular with local families, second-homers and short-term visitors, and there are always plenty of properties for sale at various price points.

Once you have found a property that suits your requirements, you should work with professional guidance to gather as much factual information about the property as you can, including the age, construction and condition of the building you are thinking of buying.

Surveyors Kingsbridge

At H&S Surveyors, we specialise town, countryside and seaside properties in the locality, providing expert assessments of any potential building defects and issues that may be present in the property.

An independent home survey carried out by a RICS Surveyor with a thorough understanding of the local housing stock is your best tool to guard against nasty surprises, such as damp, subsidence or timber decay. Where serious defects are unexpectedly found, the survey findings can also act as powerful ammunition to help renegotiate the purchase price with the seller.
