Morning,

I'm in the process of buying a house and need to get a survey done. 
Does anyone have someone they'd recommend for it?

(The last survey I got done was (a) 25 years ago, (b) in Cambridge, and
(c) not much use :-D)

Cheers,

Adrian.

Hi Adrian

 

I’ve used Alastair Sharman several times. He’s saved us from a major problem property and given good advice. Happy to recommend. By all means mention my name, he used to be a client of mine some years back.

I can also recommend a good conveyancing solicitor if needed. (And electrician and… and… 🤯)

Thanks for that.  I've got the conveyancing sorted, I think.  Might be back bothering folk for electrician and/or central heating (ideally air-source heat pump) installers in a while, assuming the survey comes back okay :-D

Cheers,

Adrian.

One tip I had (which it sounds like you’re beyond but might help others) was to get the most minimal valuation from the mortgage company, and then a thorough survey done yourself, that way any issues don’t hold up your mortgage. I used the following people 12 years ago and they seem to have done  a decent job:
