What Our Clients Say About Croydon Surveyors

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what real clients have to say about working with our surveying team.

"We were first-time buyers and had no idea what questions to ask. James at Croydon Surveyors was brilliant — he explained everything in plain English and flagged some serious damp issues in the basement. That survey saved us from a very expensive mistake. Couldn't recommend them highly enough."

"Excellent service from start to finish. The Level 3 Building Survey on our Victorian semi was thorough and the report was delivered in 4 days — much faster than we expected. The surveyor pointed out several defects we hadn't noticed and we used the report to negotiate £12,000 off the asking price."

"We needed a party wall agreement before our loft conversion and the whole process seemed daunting. The team at Croydon Surveyors handled everything professionally and kept both us and our neighbours happy throughout. Quick, efficient and very fairly priced."

PO
Patricia O. Purley, Croydon
Google Review

"I've used Croydon Surveyors twice now — once for a HomeBuyer Report and more recently for a full building survey. Both times, the reports were detailed, easy to understand and delivered on time. I'll definitely be using them again for my next property purchase."

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Property Surveys in Croydon

Do I really need a survey when buying a property in Croydon?+
Yes, absolutely. A mortgage lender's valuation is not the same as a survey — it simply confirms the lender's security, not the condition of the property. A professional survey by a RICS surveyor can reveal hidden defects such as damp, subsidence, roof problems and structural issues. Many buyers in Croydon have used survey findings to renegotiate tens of thousands of pounds off the asking price. It's one of the best investments you can make before purchasing a property.
What is the difference between a Level 2 HomeBuyer Report and a Level 3 Building Survey?+
A Level 2 HomeBuyer Report is suitable for standard, modern or well-maintained properties. It gives a clear 'traffic light' rating on the property's condition and usually includes a market valuation. A Level 3 Building Survey (sometimes called a Full Structural Survey) is a far more detailed inspection, recommended for older properties (pre-1930s), properties in poor condition, unusual construction or if you're planning major works. Our surveyors will advise which is most appropriate for your specific Croydon property.
How long does a building survey take, and when will I receive my report?+
A typical Level 3 Building Survey inspection takes between 2 and 4 hours on-site, depending on the size and complexity of the property. A HomeBuyer Report usually takes 2–3 hours. We aim to deliver all written survey reports within 3–5 working days of the inspection. If your transaction is time-sensitive, speak to us and we'll do our best to accommodate an expedited turnaround.
What areas around Croydon do you cover?+
We cover all areas within and around Croydon, including South Croydon, Purley, Selsdon, Thornton Heath, Norbury, Addiscombe, New Addington, Coulsdon and Kenley. We also serve surrounding boroughs including Bromley, Sutton, Merton, Lambeth and Wandsworth. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, just get in touch and we'll be happy to confirm.
What is a party wall survey and do I need one?+
Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996, you must notify your neighbours if you're planning certain building works — such as extensions, loft conversions, basement excavations or work to a shared wall. If they consent in writing, you don't need a formal party wall agreement. If they don't, both parties appoint surveyors (or a single agreed surveyor) to draw up a Party Wall Award. Our party wall surveyors in Croydon can act for either building owners or adjoining owners.
Are your surveyors fully insured?+
Yes. All of our RICS surveyors carry full professional indemnity insurance (PII) as required by RICS regulations. This means you are fully protected in the unlikely event that anything is missed or an error is made. We take our professional obligations very seriously and our insurance reflects the high standards we set ourselves.
