About My Home Buyers Survey

We're a team of passionate property professionals dedicated to helping home buyers make informed decisions through comprehensive RICS home surveys.

Our Story

Protecting home buyers for over 15 years

My Home Buyers Survey was founded in 2008 by a group of experienced RICS surveyors who saw too many home buyers facing unexpected problems after purchasing properties. We witnessed firsthand how the lack of a proper home survey during the buying process could lead to financial disaster.

Our mission is simple: help every home buyer understand the true condition of the property they're purchasing. Whether you're buying a conventional house, an older property requiring renovation, or a new build home, we believe everyone deserves a comprehensive survey report before making one of life's biggest financial commitments.

Today, we're proud to be one of the UK's most trusted property survey providers. Our team of RICS, CIOB, and RPSA accredited surveyors has conducted thousands of home surveys, from basic RICS Level 1 home surveys to comprehensive Level 3 building surveys. We've helped countless buyers negotiate better prices, avoid problem properties, and buy with confidence.

Our Survey Approach

How we conduct professional home surveys that protect buyers

1. Understanding Your Needs

Before conducting any survey, we take time to understand your property and concerns. Are you buying a conventional house or something more unusual? Do you have specific worries about damp, subsidence, or structural issues? This helps us tailor our inspection and focus on what matters most to you.

2. Thorough Property Inspection

Our RICS surveyors conduct meticulous inspections, examining everything from the roof and chimney to the foundations and drainage. We check for damp, structural movement, roof defects, timber issues, and much more. For a Level 3 building survey, we'll even look at aspects like boundary walls, outbuildings, and services.

3. Advanced Technology

We combine traditional surveying skills with modern technology. Thermal imaging reveals hidden moisture problems, drones inspect difficult-to-reach areas, and specialist equipment detects issues invisible to the naked eye. This comprehensive approach ensures nothing is missed during your home survey.

4. Clear, Actionable Reports

Your survey report will clearly explain the condition of the property using our traffic light rating system. Green means no immediate action needed, amber indicates issues requiring attention, and red flags urgent problems. We include photos, detailed descriptions, and practical advice on repairs and costs.

5. Expert Follow-Up Support

After receiving your report, you might have questions or need clarification. Our surveyors are always available to discuss findings, explain technical terms, and advise on next steps. Whether you need help negotiating with the seller or want advice on repair priorities, we're here to support you.
