Advice & Guidance
Information and guidance on choosing the surveying services most suitable for your needs.
01 Buying a Home
It’s important to remember that your mortgage lender’s valuation report is not a survey. It merely tells your lender whether or not the property is reasonable security for your loan. An RICS survey will tell you the actual condition of the property. That’s vital information that can be invaluable during price negotiations, and will also help you avoid expensive surprises after you’ve moved in.

I’ve used Urban Surveyors a few time now from a recommendation. They have always provided a thorough and detailed report within a week of the inspection. I would always recommend!
Gillian Patman
Excellent service
Really excellent service. Garret and Jo customer service is brilliant as they’re very responsive. The survey report was detailed and well presented. The telephone call after the survey is so useful and appears to be quite unique compared to others. Would highly recommend Urban Surveyors.

Recommended by a a friend to me
Recommended by a a friend to me, the service I received was very good, the actual survey happened one day later than initially planned but the report was turned around very quickly and was very thorough.

Excellent quick service. I recently had a Home Buyers Report completed by Garret – the survey was completed quickly, clearly and thoroughly. The call after the survey was really useful and a great service all round. Would recommend

An excellent service from Garret
An excellent service from Garret. He was polite, timely and extremely efficient in both correspondence and providing the report. We would happily use him again and would recommend him to those buying in and around Manchester.
