Chartered Surveyors in Leicester

Building Surveys
Buying an older or heavily altered home? Our Building Survey gives the depth you need to budget repairs and negotiate price with confidence. A chartered surveyor spends up to three hours on site, examining structure, roof, damp, timber, services and outbuildings. Ladders, moisture meters and telescopic cameras uncover hidden defects early, saving you thousands and strengthening your bargaining position. Fees start at £550 + VAT for a modest Victorian terrace and rise to about £900 + VAT for large detached or complex properties. We phone you the same day if we uncover a deal-breaker and email the PDF within three working days so your purchase stays on track.

Level 2 Homebuyer Report
For modern houses and flats in reasonable condition, the Level 2 Homebuyer Report provides all the essentials in a concise format. We inspect accessible parts inside and out, 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 around £575 + VAT for a three-bed semi. The inspection takes about 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
When solicitors, lenders, courts or HMRC demand a value that stands up to scrutiny, our Red Book service provides the answer. A RICS Registered Valuer measures the property, notes its condition and researches comparable sales before signing a valuation that meets every Red Book rule. Prices start at £350 + VAT for a city-centre studio and rise to around £650 + VAT for large, unique or rural homes. Standard turnaround is five working days, with a 48-hour express option if you are on a tight deadline. Your signed PDF can be supplied in hard copy on request, and we liaise directly with your professional advisers to keep paperwork smooth.
