Home Surveys in Birmingham

Birmingham has a wide variety of residential property, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Moseley, Kings Heath and Erdington, to post-war semis in Northfield and Harborne, newer builds in the city centre and larger detached homes in Sutton Coldfield and Solihull. Whatever the property type, a survey helps you understand its condition before you commit.

Our RICS-regulated surveyors inspect the property thoroughly and produce a clear, well-illustrated report with practical advice. Reports are normally delivered within three working days of the inspection. After you receive your report, you can arrange a follow-up call with your surveyor to talk through the findings in plain English.

We include a complimentary drone roof inspection with every eligible house survey, weather permitting. This allows us to inspect roofs, chimney stacks and guttering that would otherwise be difficult to access, and the photographs are included in your report.

RICS Level 2 Survey

Frequently asked questions

Which survey do I need for a Birmingham property?

A Level 2 Survey is generally suitable for modern, conventional homes in reasonable condition. A Level 3 Building Survey is recommended for older, altered, extended or more complex properties, for example, Victorian terraces, period semis or any home where you want a more detailed picture of condition. If you are unsure, call us and we will advise you.

Is a drone roof inspection included?

Yes, a complimentary drone roof inspection is included with every eligible house survey, weather permitting. The drone allows us to inspect roofs, chimney stacks and guttering that would otherwise be difficult to access safely, and the photographs are included in your report. Drone inspections are not available for flats.

How quickly will I receive my report?

Reports are normally delivered within three working days of the inspection. Once you have received your report, you can arrange a follow-up call with your surveyor to talk through the findings.

Can I speak to my surveyor directly?

Yes. At Haydens you have direct access to the surveyor who inspected your property. You can call or email them before the inspection to discuss the property, and again after you receive your report if you have questions about the findings.
