Our customers love us
We are rated Excellent on Trustpilot, the independent most respected customer review site.
Really impressed
Really impressed with the simple and quick delivery of a quote and then our booking. Booked a level 2 homebuyers and it was completed within 3 working days. The report was received the same day and conducted by a RICS surveyor with long term experience. The report was detailed and very useful with our purchase going forward. Would highly recommend Houzecheck. The price was very competitive against other local companies, some of which were over £200 more! Great communication and paperwork all by email and telephone.
Fantastic service
Fantastic service. Able to book survey for a few days ahead and received a full report the same day. The surveyor called us in advance to see if we had any specific concerns.
Quality Service
Able to survey my property at short notice. Customer service was very good, actually treating me like a person. Patrick was friendly, personable, and thorough in his report. The report itself was completed on the same day to a very good standard. Would highly recommend over other high street surveryors
Prompt, professional and courteous service
My details were taken and I got a call very swiftly with how to proceed. After the cost was agreed and payment details sorted my request was sent to local surveyors and I was contacted to agree a time and they arranged with the estate agent as I live away from the area . The survey was done promptly and I received a comprehensive report next day including photos . Would definitely recommend
Houzecheck is a fantastic company
Houzecheck is a fantastic company. They are very friendly and knowledgeable in what they do. I was talked through the process of what I needed and found them extremely helpful. A bit expensive but worth the peace of mind knowing that your going to get the right survey done on your future home. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is investigating into a new home. Thanks again to all the team.
Houzecheck gets full marks!
Houzecheck has been great with our Level 1 RICS Valuation Survey on our Help to Buy sale of our apartment. Kept us updated and arrived within 2 days of the enquiry, the report was also returned within a further 2 days. They were so good in fact were going to use them for our onward purchase Level 2 Survey. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them - super friendly team and top comms! Thanks again
From start to finish great service
From booking to receiving the survey report everything went very smoothly. Kept up to date with any changes . Report issued the next day . Very comprehensive and informative. Surveyor called to go over the report and discuss any questions which was very helpful .
Excellent service
Excellent service. Very quick to respond and provide a quote - well priced as we got a few different quotes to compare. Survey report came through in a few days. Particular thanks to Sally, who was extremely efficient in responding to us and adding some of our specific requests for the surveyor to check e.g. garage and an internal wall that we knew had been knocked through. Purchasing a house can be stressful but our experience with this company has been great and easy - thanks again.
Fantastic service
Fantastic service - posted a request for an initial quote and they came back to me very quickly. The woman on the phone (Sally i think), was extremely open, honest & helpful. That played a big part in the decision to go with Houzecheck. The survey itself was done in a timely manner & Richard was very transparent and gave a intro call prior to the survey to ask for any specific areas of concern on my part. Solid service from start to finish!
Very thorough/excellent after-service
Very thorough, highlighting quite major issues that I was unaware of e.g. foam insulation in roof, shoddy workmanship. My surveyor then talked through and clarified his findings both on the day of the survey and again after I received/read through the survey. Exceedingly helpful! My seller has agreed to rectify issues arising prior to sale so this survey proved to be an investment.
I have now used Houzecheck four times...
I have now used Houzecheck four times (as house sale has been delayed!) and have always been a slick and professional team to deal with. They were able to send out a RICS Surveyor within a couple of days on two occasions, with the report provided within 24hours of the visit. On extensions, on both occasions they've been able to supply within 24 hours, and all for a very reasonable price. A huge thank you for making at least this part of the move easy!
Knock my socks off.
If you want a team that are helpful, well Houzecheck team are it. From start to finish, delivering service, quality. From online application, phone calls, updates and delivery of report. Excellent. No hassle, straight forward communication right up until closing time, they will answer your query or chase things up. Can not say how much I appreciate your help and effort put into our house report. Thank you.

Frequently asked questions
What areas do you cover?
+
We have over 150 surveyors and cover the majority of the UK. However, we do not currently cover Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Are your surveyors RICS qualified?
+
Yes all of our surveyors are qualified members of the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors).
What qualification will my surveyor have?
+
All qualified RICS surveyors have the following designations after their names: AssocRICS, MRICS, or FRICS . You can check your surveyor’s qualification on the RICS website under “Is your surveyor qualified?”
Do you use trainee surveyors?
+
No, we do not use trainee surveyors. All of our surveyors are fully experienced and fully qualified RICS members. Therefore you can be certain that your property will be both inspected by and reported upon by a fully qualified RICS surveyor.
How will I know whether I need a Level 2 Homebuyer Survey or a Level 3 Building Survey?
+
The Level 2 Homebuyer Survey is for traditionally built properties which are in good condition. A Level 3 Building Survey is ideal for older, larger, run-down, unusual or altered/extended properties or if you are planning major work. Please see our product pages for further information.
What does a Level 3 Building Survey cover?
+
It is a detailed visual inspection of the property, grounds and services and is more extensive than a Level 2 Survey. Loft spaces, basements, cellars and similar are inspected if it is safe to do. Although services are not tested, they are observed in normal operation (switched on or off where the occupier gives permission/if it is safe to do so). The report objectively describes the form of construction and materials used for different part of the property. It describes the condition and provides an assessment of the relative importance of the defects/problems. It also describes the identifiable risk of potential or hidden defects in areas not inspected and proposes the most probable cause of the defects based on inspection.
Do you automatically include a valuation in your Level 2 Homebuyer and Level 3 Building Surveys?
+
We don’t automatically include a valuation so that you are not paying for something that you may not need. If you would like to include a valuation, please let us know when you book your survey.
Do you provide Level 1 Home Surveys?
+
A Level 1 Condition Report is the least detailed survey on the market. We do not offer Level 1 as we prefer to give a more detailed assessment of the property condition to our customers.
Can I have a sample report sent to me?
+
Yes we’re happy to supply a sample report. Please call our booking team on 0330 113 1133.
How quickly can I book the surveyor?
+
We usually have appointments available within the next few days.
Can I accompany the surveyor whilst the survey is completed?
+
Unfortunately not, as it’s really important that that the surveyor is allowed to concentrate on performing the survey without distractions.
If I have had a cheaper quote will you match it?
+
We offer a quality service provided by fully experienced and qualified surveyors. We keep our prices low by using technology to speed up the delivery of your report. Your own quote may not be from a firm that works this way, however we’d be happy to take a look and see what we can do.
Do I have to call the vendor/estate agent to make an appointment for the surveyor?
+
No, we take away the hassle and arrange all of this for you.
When do I pay for the survey?
+
You can either pay for the survey when you book it, or you can provisionally reserve the surveyor appointment and pay when we email you with details of how to pay. Payment is required prior to the appointment being fully confirmed. We accept all major credit and debit cards and you can also pay via PayPal.
How long after the survey has been completed will I receive the report?
+
We aim to get the report to you within 5 working days but you’ll see from our Trustpilot Reviews that we regularly deliver the report to our customers even quicker.
Can you get the report to me quicker than 5 working days?
+
Many of our surveyors will deliver the report more quickly, depending on the size and construction of the property.
How will your surveyor identify themselves when arriving at the property?
+
All our surveyors have a Houzecheck identification card and will introduce themselves upon arrival.
Will the surveyor call me after the survey has been completed?
+
Following a Level 2 Homebuyer or Level 3 Building Survey, the surveyor will make reasonable endeavours to call you to discuss their main findings following the inspection. This may, or may not, be immediately after the inspection, depending on other bookings that the surveyor may have scheduled in their diary.
How do I know that you will provide a good service?
+
To date, we have provided over 11,000 surveys and valuations to happy customers and pride ourselves on the quality of our service. Please feel free to check out our Trustpilot and Google Reviews.
How will the report be sent to me?
+
The report will be sent to you via email.
What happens if I need to reschedule or cancel the appointment?
+
We are very flexible and receptive to customer needs. We have an understanding Customer Services team which is happy to help you. If you need to reschedule to another date, we can arrange this for you free of charge prior to the inspection taking place. If you no longer need the appointment, as long as you give us 24-hours’ notice prior to the inspection taking place, we will arrange a full refund of the product fee paid.
