1. RICS Members are Skilled Experts in Property Surveying

RICS or Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors is a professional body regulating various professional disciplines, such as building surveys, land surveys, quantity and valuation surveys. Our surveyor is FRICS—a fellow member and chartered surveyor known for her expertise and experience, who has founded Chiltern Associates to help people in Suffolk and surrounding areas get impeccable structural surveys for different types of properties.

2. Provide an Impartial, Comprehensive, and Reliable Survey Report

Consulting an experienced RICS-certified property surveyor in Suffolk for Level 2 or Level 3 Surveys assures you of getting a comprehensive, impartial, and reliable survey done by independent professionals. When purchasing any kind of property, the onus lies on the buyer to get a detailed property survey done by experts that will help them know about their to-be purchased property better such that they can protect their investment and make assured purchase.

3. Guide You to Understand Every Point in the Report and Protect Your Interests

What makes our independent chartered property surveyor stand apart from others is the fact that they do their due diligence to ensure that every client understands all the points in the reports as well as the implications they may have on future repair costs, the property’s value and more. This is often missed by cheaper or larger companies letting clients not get the best results from survey reports.

4. They Hold Professional Indemnity Insurance

Experienced RICS-regulated surveyors carry out the survey work to the highest standards guided by the strict standards and rules of conduct of RICS. These surveyors have professional indemnity insurance that safeguards clients from paying for any property issues that come up during the building surveys.  The surveyors are guided by the RICS PI Insurance guidelines and they cover the cost in the event of a genuine claim.

5. Resolve Your Property Concerns and Cater to Your Needs

As RICS-certified surveyors are not affiliated with any independent builder or seller’s body, they will provide you with personalized services and address all your concerns related to the property. You can know whether the seller has made any alterations in the past or not. Does this property carry flood risk, drainage issues, dampness, or structural defects? Our expert property surveyor will resolve your doubts and help you make the best purchase decision.

6. Empower Buyers to Negotiate and Get the Best Deal

With a detailed property survey report, buyers can understand the condition of the property, any repair issues, and the cost estimate of such repair and maintenance works. This information empowers property buyers to renegotiate the purchase offer that the seller had accepted earlier citing these issues. It will help them either get the best deal or decide to move away to find another property to purchase.
