RICS regulated surveyors for Hatfield buyers, with your report within 5 working days and a review meeting after.
We are RICS regulated surveyors working throughout Hertfordshire, including Hatfield, from our office at 7 The Ambition, Broxbourne Business Centre in Hoddesdon. Whether the property needs a Level 1 Condition Report, a Level 2 HomeBuyer Report, a Level 3 Building Survey or a new build snagging survey, we aim to deliver the report within 5 working days and offer a review meeting once you have read it.
Our reports are detailed and easy to read, highlighting any potential risks or issues, such as structural problems, damp, or defects that could affect the property's value or safety.
Hatfield combines a historic core with a post-war New Town. Old Hatfield, home to Hatfield House and the Old Palace, is a conservation area with 52 listed buildings. Among them are timber-framed houses that were later refronted in brick or finished in roughcast. Period homes like these, and older or altered properties elsewhere in the town, usually suit a Level 3 Building Survey, which looks more closely at original fabric and past alterations.
Hatfield was designated a New Town in 1948, and much of the town dates from the decades that followed. Not all of it is conventional. A national brick shortage meant some early homes at Roe Green had front and back walls built as lightweight skins rather than load-bearing brick. Hundreds of houses at Hazel Grove in South Hatfield were built from no-fines concrete, an experimental non-traditional method. On a post-war home, find out how it was built. Non-standard construction points towards a Level 3, and a conventional brick home in reasonable condition will generally suit a Level 2 HomeBuyer Report.
Newer homes stand on parts of the former de Havilland airfield, and the Local Plan allocates North West Hatfield for approximately 1,750 homes, so a snagging survey is worth considering on any new build. Hatfield is also named in the Environment Agency's River Lee flood warning area, which a surveyor would bear in mind for homes near the river.
Three RICS survey levels, plus snagging surveys for new builds.

I recently used Home Survey Herts for a property survey and was very impressed, especially with Paul, who carried it out.
He was professional, punctual, and thorough, explaining everything clearly and making the process much easier to understand. The report was detailed, well-presented, and delivered promptly.
Paul was also very helpful in answering questions and offering practical advice. I’d highly recommend Home Survey Herts for a reliable and professional service.
So glad we went with Home Surveys Herts and we highly recommend them. The communication from Michael was great from the start, advising on the level of survey that best suited us, and then getting both the survey and report done very quickly. The report was thorough, clear and Michael then talked us through the main finding in a call afterwards to ensure we understood it all, and advised on possible next steps. Couldn't have asked for more.
I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received from Home Surveys Herts. The booking process was very straightforward. Michael was incredibly thorough, highlighting things that could have easily been missed. I received a detailed copy of the report quickly and especially appreciated the follow-up phone call to talk through the findings. This gave me total piece of mind for my house purchase, I would highly recommend
Michael was very helpful from the outset as well as being very knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble and he was very happy to discuss in detail any areas of concern. I would recommend his services.
