Property Surveyors
If you’re buying or selling a property, whether domestic or commercial, you may need a property survey to protect your investment or to satisfy your buyer. Green & Company’s Professional Services team has the experience and local knowledge you need for full peace of mind before you take your next step.

The importance of getting a home survey
How can Green & Company help?
Whether you are looking for informal, expert advice or a detailed written report, our team of professionally qualified Chartered Surveyors can assist with:
- Independent homebuyer surveys
- Valuations
- Commercial property matters
- Schedules of condition
- Plus other property surveys
A mortgage valuation won’t point out any necessary repairs or structural issues that could cost you money further down the line.
Instead, choose a Homescore report from Green & Company’s team of Chartered Surveyors, which uses a clear rating from 1-10 for all key areas of the property to quickly and easily identify any areas of concern.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) offers three levels of home survey for people who are buying, selling, or staying in a property.
The RICS Home Survey – Level 1:
A basic inspection that provides a summary of risks and defects and assigns "traffic light" ratings to different parts of the building, services, and grounds.
The RICS Home Survey – Level 2 (survey only)
A more extensive inspection that focuses on the general condition of the main elements of a property, including concealed areas that are normally opened or used by the occupants.
The RICS Home Survey – Level 2 (survey and valuation)
Includes the surveyor's professional opinion on the market value of the property, an insurance reinstatement figure, and a list of problems that may affect the value.
The RICS Home Survey – Level 3
A detailed inspection that includes a report on the structure and fabric of the property, as well as tests of the building fabric and services. It is recommended for large, older, or run-down properties, as well as buildings that are unusual or altered, or that are undergoing major works.
