Hertfordshire

A home survey in Hertfordshire costs between £400 and £950 depending on the property size, age and survey level. A RICS Level 2 Home Survey for a typical three bedroom semi detached house in St Albans, Watford or Stevenage generally costs from £525 ex VAT. A RICS Level 3 Building Survey for a period or larger property such as a Victorian detached house in Harpenden, Hitchin or Tring typically starts from £600 to £950. All quotes are fixed price with no VAT and no travel surcharges for any Hertfordshire location. We provide a free quote within 24 hours.

For a modern Hertfordshire property built within the last 20 years and in good condition, a RICS Level 2 Home Survey is usually sufficient. For period properties including Victorian and Edwardian homes in St Albans, Harpenden and Hitchin, listed buildings, homes of unusual construction, converted properties, or any property you plan to extensively renovate, we strongly recommend a RICS Level 3 Building Survey. Call us on 03300 438471 and a Hertfordshire surveyor will advise the right survey for your specific property.

Hertfordshire sits predominantly on chalk and clay geology. Clay shrinkage subsidence is a recognised risk factor across many parts of the county, particularly in areas with mature tree cover on clay soils. Our Hertfordshire surveyors are experienced in identifying the tell tale signs of movement, distinguishing between historic and active movement, and advising on the seriousness of any cracking observed. This is one of the key reasons why getting a proper survey by a locally experienced Hertfordshire property surveyor matters here more than in many other counties.

We typically schedule inspections within 5 to 10 working days of your enquiry, subject to access. Reports are delivered within 5 to 7 working days of the inspection. For urgent cases we can often accommodate earlier appointments. Tell us your deadline when you enquire.
