We are a completely independent RICS Regulated firm as we do not have any partnerships or referral contracts with the likes of estate agents, mortgage brokers, solicitors etc. This means we are completely impartial to provide you with the best advice. Many other firms have such contractual relations that they should declare to you…
We are passionate about providing our clients with excellent customer service; from our straightforward booking enquiry form and responsive emails, to the final reports and support thereafter. Many firms require high-volume low-fee workloads due to overheads, which can result in time constraints when carrying out inspections and report writing. We are not however pressured by such targets and therefore offer a good turn-around time for all our high-quality survey reports. We do not carry out numerous surveys per day or overload our diary, which ensures that all inspections and reports receive the necessary time and attention required without compromise. This further includes any support to you, such as telephone calls or emails that can promptly be provided should you have any questions. This is an example of our commitment to provide an excellent service for all our valued clients.
Our slogan is, ‘Your Property, Our Priority’, and we very much stick to those values, as we were founded upon the strive for quality over quantity within residential surveying. We are experienced and specialise in RICS Level 2 and Level 3 Home Surveys, Private Valuations including Help to Buy and Shared Ownership, New-Build Snagging Surveys, EPC’s (Energy Performance Certificates) and Drone and Camera Pole Surveys.
We are both knowledgeable and experienced in the geographical areas that we cover, and our surveys are always carried out by an RICS-accredited surveyor and registered valuer.
We serve areas within: Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Bedfordshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk.
The reporting software we use has been developed by RICS tech partners.
We also have the paid licenses for the RICS Level 2 and 3 Home Survey reports, rather than using homemade templates.
These features help to ensure that your report is both detailed and easy to understand.
All survey reports include photographs with hyperlinks below each photo, which allows you to open them as large high-resolution photographs outside of the PDF.
You should note that many other firms do not provide photographs with Level 2 reports.
‘Property Specific’ is a term often used within surveying, to convey the importance of ensuring all information provided is relevant to that specific property. We ensure that your needs are met by choosing the most suitable service, which can help prevent you from overpaying on a Level 3 survey for instance if a Level 2 is considered to be appropriate.
As an independent family-run company, we do not have to worry about overloaded diaries to meet targets that in turn may compromise the quality of our reports. We ensure that all the information within your report is not just specific to your property, but is necessary to be within the report. Each individual report is specifically tailored to the subject property and is proof-read prior to sending. Unnecessary jargon and caveats can often cause confusion, particularly if some phrases are not relevant to the property itself. Providing clarity via the means of property specific information is a must, and enables you to make suitably informed decisions regarding the most expensive purchase of your life.
We enjoy speaking with our clients, and this is not restricted to just solely before or after the inspection! By putting forward any information or questions you have regarding your property, we can ensure that those concerns are addressed. We find that clients benefit from post-inspection conversations in particular, to help their understanding of the reports. Other parties such as estate agents and solicitors also benefit from us doing this with our clients, so that they are not then sent numerous questions and concerns that we can otherwise answer or help to provide that necessary reassurance. Do let us know if you wish to discuss our services, or indeed your report in further detail!
We can utilise modern technology, such as drones and camera poles with cameras where necessary and possible, to ensure that crucial and expensive elements of the property, such as roofs and chimneys are adequately commented on. Simply regarding a ground-level inspection as a limitation does not provide clients with the information they need regarding such areas.
We have experience within the company of carrying out over 1,200 new-build snagging surveys for private customers and large developers. This sets us apart from other surveying and even new-build snagging companies, whereby we have experience in thermal imaging heat loss inspections, as well as the use of borescopes to inspect cavity wall insulation, or the lack of! Our experience and knowledge of such types of inspections will help ensure that building developers can rectify issues urgently, whether that is pre-completion or post-completion inspections in line with guidance from the New Homes Quality Board. You do not then have to worry about continuously providing the snags you come across, rather can be more concerned about what colour you are painting the walls and where you put the TV!
Bookings can be made via our quotation form, or by email and telephone. We will respond promptly and ensure that we help you choose the most suitable type of inspection for your property requirements. We keep you regularly updated throughout the booking process, and as mentioned, our service to you does not end when the report is issued.

In the very rare cases, some homebuyers may get to look in the loft. Even if they do, will they know what to look for or what is an issue even when staring at them in the face?

Often marketed as another room, loft rooms can be an issue we find and must report on accordingly.

Issues such as disjointed downpipes, corroding metal fittings, or blocked guttering with vegetation can all be problematic.
"I was extremely impressed with the thoroughness and detail of the report I received from Eastern Surveyors. It went above and beyond my expectations, not only providing clear and actionable recommendations but also highlighting potential future issues to be aware of. The report included valuable legal advice on key areas to consider during the process, which was especially helpful as a first-time homebuyer. They made sure to point out where attention should be given to avoid any future complications. The communication was seamless from start to finish, including easy scheduling and accessibility. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and informative property survey!"

"I recently instructed Eastern Surveyors for a level 3 survey and I certainly would not hesitate to use them again in the future! They answered all my questions both pre- and post survey swiftly and thoroughly. The property purchase was a renovation project and therefore, I expected a number of issues. However, the survey and report was extremely thorough, highlighting additional issues that I did not foresee. Thankfully, the level of detail and knowledge provided by Eastern Surveyors has enabled me to consider my next steps carefully to ensure that I can make an informed decision on this property purchase. I was kept informed throughout the process and I also would not hesitate to recommend to friends, family and anyone seeking a survey for their property purchase."

"Fantastic service from Alex and George - we have been very impressed with the friendly and prompt communication and the quality/depth of the report, as well as the very competitive pricing! You can't underestimate the difference it makes to the overwhelming home-buying process to have such easy, minimal-stress services available like this. I will be recommending Eastern Surveyors to anyone I know needing a homebuyer survey in the future. Thank you so much :)"
Lauren Abbott
"I chose Eastern Surveyors because from the very first point of contact, I received very personalised and tailored advice rather than a standard reply. This very much continued throughout the whole process and the report was explained to me very thoroughly over the phone before being sent via email. The price was very competitive and I would highly recommend."

"I recently used Eastern Surveyors for my upcoming property that I’m buying, they provided a very detailed and clear survey report on the house from start to finish. We scheduled in a phone call the day after the report had been taken to go over any issues before I received the documents on email, which explained any areas that needed looking at our explaining more.
Ben Waldron
Overall they provided an excellent 5 star service and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for survey on an upcoming purchase."
