About me.
Let me introduce myself
The process.
Understand why we are different
The Five Step Survey Process.
We like to do things differently
Step 1:
Personalised Enquiry
Your requirements will be matched to the right survey type, not the most expensive.
Step 2:
Booking and Pre-Survey Call
Once you accept the quote, agree to the terms, and pay the invoice, we will liaise with the estate agent to book your survey.At this stage, you can have an optional pre-survey call with me to discuss any concerns about the property you may have.
Step 3:
Survey Day
The survey will be conducted on the scheduled day, with the entire day dedicated to your property.The survey will be carried out to exemplary standards - regardless of how long it takes.After the survey, I will give you a quick call to discuss my findings, later on the day.I will then begin writing your bespoke report.
Step 4:
Survey Report Release
The completed survey report will be released within 2-4 working days.We recommend you read the report thoroughly and note any questions or queires you have.
Step 5:
Post Survey Consultation & Ongoing Support
You will then book a post survey call with me at a convenient time to discuss the findings.Our service doesn't end with the survey. I will remain available for any further assistance you may need post survey, as standard.
Your Surveying Needs, My Personal Commitment.
What we offer.
It doesn't need to be complicated
RICS Level 2 Survey
In our bespoke RICS Level 2 Report, we include everything you’ll find in a standard RICS HomeBuyer Report (also known as a Level 2 Report without Valuation), but we also provide clear annotated photographs - to make it really clear to you what condition the property is in - and additional advice, including environmental issues.
A 30 minute post survey consultation is included as standard.
We aim to identify any problems with the property
Anything that needs to be investigated further by a specialist
Anything dangerous to you or your family
Any potential issues or defects before your transaction takes place.
According to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), people spend an average of £5,750 on repairs after buying a new home.Let us find the defects for you, and it may give you the opportunity to negotiate who pays to have them rectified.
RICS Level 3 Survey
In our report, we include everything you’ll find in our Home Survey Report, but the Building Survey (also known as a Level 3 Survey) also includes:
Surveys designed for older or more complex properties.
Testing of all windows (where access is available).
Brief testing of all taps and showers.
Establishing how the property is built, the material used and how they will perform in the future.
It aims to expose potential problems caused by non visible defects.
Our drone survey as standard (weather dependent).
Sub floor void inspection (where access is available and space allows safe access - all surveys are non invasive so floorboards are not lifted or cut).
A 60 minute post survey consultation is included as standard.
The building survey is an opportunity to have a very in depth investigation of larger, more complex or older properties.

Before becoming a residential surveyor, I studied education at Oxford and worked as a teacher in Chelsea, London.

During my time here, I learned from the best and developed my skills in surveying, defect analysis, and communicating. I became very good at evaluating properties, identifying issues, and providing detailed reports with strong business development.After a decade in London, I decided it was time to go independent. Now, I am excited to bring my personal, friendly approach to surveying in beautiful Norfolk and the surrounding areas. Norfolk’s rich history and stunning landscapes make it the perfect place to call home.In Norfolk, I offer a professional and personal surveying service.
