Weymouth Surveyors - Your Trusted Local Property Experts

The type of survey depends on your property's age and condition. For standard modern homes in good condition, a Level 2 Home Survey (RICS Home Survey) is usually sufficient. For older properties, those with period features, or buildings showing signs of movement or damp, we recommend a Level 3 Building Survey. Our team can advise you on the most appropriate survey for your specific property in Weymouth or surrounding Dorset areas.

A typical property survey takes 2-4 hours on site, depending on the size and complexity of the property. Our chartered surveyors then prepare a comprehensive report, which is usually delivered within 3-5 working days. For urgent property purchases, we can often arrange faster turnaround times. We understand that time is crucial when buying property in Weymouth.
