Chartered Surveyors in Derby

Building Surveys
Buying an older or extended home? Our Building Survey is the deepest inspection we offer. A chartered surveyor spends up to three hours on site, examining structure, roof, damp, timber, services and outbuildings. Ladders, moisture meters and telephoto cameras expose hidden issues early, saving you thousands and strengthening your bargaining position. Fees start at £550 + VAT for a modest Victorian terrace and reach £900 + VAT for large detached or complex properties. We phone you the same day if we find a deal-breaker and email the PDF within three working days so your purchase stays on track. (Image alt: Building survey report by chartered surveyors Derby.)

Level 2 Homebuyer Report
For modern houses and flats in reasonable condition, the Level 2 Homebuyer Report gives all essential facts in a concise layout. We inspect all accessible parts, rating each element green, amber or red so issues stand out instantly. You also receive a current market valuation and insurance rebuild cost—figures most lenders need. Typical fees run from £425 + VAT for a one-bed flat to about £575 + VAT for a three-bed semi. The inspection takes around two hours and we deliver the report within two working days—often next-day when diaries allow. If we spot anything serious, we call you right after the visit.

Red Book Valuation
Solicitors, lenders, courts and HMRC demand Red Book values they can trust. A RICS Registered Valuer measures the property, notes its condition and reviews comparable sales, then signs a valuation that meets every Red Book rule. Prices start at £350 + VAT for a city-centre studio and rise to £650 + VAT for large, unique or rural homes. Standard turnaround is five working days, with a 48-hour express option when deadlines are tight. Your signed PDF can be supplied in hard copy if needed, and we’re happy to liaise directly with your professional advisers. (Image alt: Red Book valuation document prepared by surveyors Derby.)
