The right RICS house survey for the home you are buying, from Level 1 to Level 3, with a surveyor you can talk to before and after.
A house survey tells you the condition of a property before you commit to buying it. Home Surveys Herts carries out RICS Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 surveys throughout Hertfordshire from our office in Hoddesdon, and we will review the property before providing your quote to ensure the most suitable level is undertaken.
In short: a Level 1 Condition Report suits newer homes in good condition, a Level 2 HomeBuyer Report suits conventional properties in reasonable condition, and a Level 3 Building Survey is for older, larger or unusual properties, such as listed buildings or homes that have been significantly altered. Buying a new build? A snagging survey identifies any defects before you move in.
Yes. Many issues, such as structural problems or damp, may not be visible during a standard viewing. A professional survey will uncover potential issues that could be costly in the future, allowing you to make a well-informed decision or negotiate the property price.
If the survey uncovers issues such as structural damage or damp, you can use this information to negotiate a lower price or ask the seller to fix the problems before purchase.
Our surveys start from £385 for a Level 2 HomeBuyer Report, £495 for a Level 3 Building Survey and £299 for a new build snagging survey. Level 1 Condition Report prices are available on request.
The exact price depends on the property. Because we review the property before we quote, the quote you receive is for the level of survey that suits it. Use the quote form below or call 01992 879 507 for a personalised quote.
Three RICS survey levels, plus snagging surveys for new builds. Each card shows who it suits.

Best for: Newer homes or properties in good condition
The most basic home buyers survey. It offers an overview of the property's current state and highlights any urgent issues, but doesn't include extensive detail. It suits buyers seeking reassurance without needing an in-depth analysis.

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
I'm impressed; our survey was carried out within a week of us requesting it and the finished report was delivered soon after. The report was comprehensive, detailed and written in such a manner that it could be understood by both laymen and more experienced persons. Communication was excellent and someone picks up the phone when you need to discuss something. Excellent.
