Don't just take our word for it. Here's what some of our recent clients have said about their experience with Crawley Surveyor.
"We used Crawley Surveyor when buying our first home in Pound Hill. The report was so thorough and written in plain English. It flagged some damp issues we'd completely missed, which saved us thousands in renegotiations. Absolutely worth every penny."
"I'd been stung before by a poor survey on a previous property, so I was determined to get a proper building survey this time. The team at Crawley Surveyor were professional from start to finish. The full building survey gave me absolute peace of mind."
"Used these surveyors for a Victorian terrace in Horley. The surveyor spent over 4 hours on site and the report covered every single defect in plain language with photos. When I had questions, they called me back within hours. Exceptional local surveyors."
"As a landlord with several properties in West Sussex, I've used various local surveyors over the years. Crawley Surveyor stands head and shoulders above the rest — fast, accurate and brilliant at spotting issues that others miss. My go-to surveyors now."
"The homebuyer report we got on our new build in Crawley was detailed and easy to understand. The surveyor spotted some minor snag items the developer hadn't addressed. Really glad we instructed a proper survey rather than relying on the developer's sign-off."
"I needed a valuation for probate purposes quickly. The surveyor was in touch straight away, inspected within 2 days, and delivered the report the following week. Accurate, professional and compassionate given the circumstances. Highly recommend."
Based in Crawley, we survey property across a wide area including West Sussex, Surrey and parts of Kent — covering London and the South East.
Still unsure which survey is right for you? Below are the questions our Crawley clients ask most often. If you don't find your answer here, get in touch and we'll be happy to help.
The right survey depends on the age and condition of the property. For older properties — say, pre-1950 — or anything with obvious concerns like cracks or unusual construction, we'd always recommend a Full Building Survey (RICS Level 3). For a standard post-war semi or detached in reasonable condition, a HomeBuyer Report (RICS Level 2) usually does the job. Not sure? Just ask us — we're always happy to advise based on the specific property.
A full building survey typically takes 3–6 hours on site, depending on the size and condition of the property. A HomeBuyer Report might take 1.5–3 hours. You'll receive your detailed written report within 3–5 working days of the inspection, though we can often turn reports around faster on request.
Yes — all our surveyors are accredited by one or more of the following professional bodies: RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors), CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building) and RPSA (Residential Property Surveyors Association). These accreditations mean you're protected by strict professional standards, codes of conduct and professional indemnity insurance.
We cover Crawley and the surrounding areas of West Sussex, Surrey and parts of Kent — including Horley, Horsham, East Grinstead, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath, Brighton, Worthing, Guildford, Reigate, Redhill, and many more. See our Areas Covered page for the full list.
Survey fees depend on the type of survey and the size and value of the property. As a guide, an RICS HomeBuyer Report typically starts from around £400 and a Full Building Survey from around £600 for a standard property. Commercial surveys are priced on application. Contact us for a tailored, no-obligation quote.
Absolutely — and it often does. A good building survey frequently uncovers defects that weren't apparent during viewings. Armed with our detailed report, many clients successfully negotiate a price reduction or require the seller to remedy issues before completion. In one recent case in Pound Hill, our survey helped a buyer save over £12,000 on their purchase price.
