Home Surveys Herts offers Level 1 Condition Reports, Level 2 HomeBuyer Reports and Level 3 Building Surveys across Hertford and surrounding areas, including Hertford East, Hertford North, Bengeo, Folly Island, Sele Farm, Kingsmead and Hertford Heath.

Hertford offers a wide range of properties, from period cottages and extended family homes to post-war estates and modern developments. Each age and construction type has its own set of risks, which is why we will review the property before providing your quote to ensure the most suitable level is undertaken.
We aim to deliver your report within 5 working days, and your surveyor will talk you through the findings at a post survey review meeting.
Hertford is the county town of Hertfordshire and grew up around a ford on the River Lea. The town centre still follows its medieval layout, and many timber-framed buildings sit hidden behind later frontages, some rebuilt in brick in the 18th century. The Hertford Conservation Area, first designated in 1967, covers the historic core and reaches into parts of Bengeo, Port Vale, Folly Island and the late 19th and early 20th century streets along Ware Road. It contains nearly 280 listed building groups.
For a timber-framed, refronted or listed home, a Level 3 Building Survey is usually the right choice. The surveyor will look closely at how the older structure behind the frontage has been altered and repaired. Altering a listed building in a way that affects its character needs listed building consent, so ask what consent covered earlier works.
The town also has many areas of 19th century terraced housing. A Level 2 HomeBuyer Report can suit a conventional terrace in reasonable condition, while a heavily extended or altered one may justify Level 3.
Hertford sits where four rivers meet, and the government's flood service warns that property flooding is possible when the River Beane runs high, so check the flood risk for the specific address. The East Herts District Plan allocates land on the edge of town for new homes, where a snagging survey is the right fit.
Three RICS survey levels, plus snagging surveys for new builds.

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
