How it works

Your Level 3 Building Survey, sorted in three steps

No quote-juggling, no chasing dates. You tell us about the property once, and we handle the rest.

Tell us about your property

A few quick taps, property type, timing, postcode. About 60 seconds, no obligation.

Structure, defects, causes and repair guidance, explained in plain English, with your surveyor on call afterwards.

The difference

One submission. Not five sales calls.

Comparison sites pass your number to a handful of surveyors and let them fight over you. We don't. You submit once, and we hand-pick the right person for the job.

Comparison sites

✕ Your number handed to up to 5 surveyors

✕ You sift through quotes and decide

✕ Pot luck on who is actually local

✕ You chase for available dates

✕ Repeat sales calls and follow-ups

I used FindMySurveyor to arrange a RICS Level 2 survey on property and the whole process was very simple . The site made the process easy to understand what was included and I was matched with a surveyor straight away . Everything was handled professionally and the report arrived sooner than expected. A very reliable service and one I would be happy to recommend

Great company

I had no idea which survey I needed for my house purchase and their team made it so simple. I filled in a quick form and got matched with a RICS surveyor the same day. The price was clear, the service was fast, and the report gave me real confidence before exchanging.

Offer accepted/Survey needed quickly

I needed a survey done quickly after my offer was accepted, and FindMySurveyor were a huge help. The quote came through fast, and the surveyor they connected me with was professional and detailed. The report highlighted a couple of issues I would never have spotted myself. Really happy with the service.
