Meet the TeamDon't just take our word for it. Here's what real clients across Bath and Somerset say about our surveying services.
"Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. Our surveyor was thorough, professional and explained everything clearly. The report saved us from a potentially expensive mistake — there was significant damp in the basement we'd completely missed. Worth every penny."
"We used Bath Surveyors UK for a Level 2 homebuyer survey on a Victorian terraced house in Oldfield Park. The report was detailed, clear, and delivered quickly. We negotiated £8,000 off the asking price based on the findings. Couldn't recommend more highly."
"As first-time buyers, we were really nervous about the whole process. The team at Bath Surveyors UK were so reassuring and patient. They walked us through the report on the phone and answered every question. Truly a five-star experience."
"We needed a survey on a Grade II listed building in Bath city centre — not an easy job. The surveyor's knowledge of listed buildings and Bath stone construction was exceptional. The report was comprehensive and saved us from some very costly restoration issues."
"Fantastic local knowledge and genuinely passionate about property surveying. The turnaround was really impressive — we had our full report in just 4 days. I'd absolutely use Bath Surveyors UK again and have already recommended them to two friends."
"I've used surveyors all over Bristol and Somerset over the years, and Bath Surveyors UK stand out for their professionalism and attention to detail. Their valuation was accurate and the report gave us exactly what we needed for probate proceedings."
Have questions? We've answered the most common ones below.
A Level 2 homebuyer survey is suitable for conventional modern properties in reasonable condition. It identifies significant defects using a traffic light rating system and is quick and cost-effective. A Level 3 building survey is more in-depth and is recommended for older properties (pre-1940), unusual structures, listed buildings, or any property you plan to renovate. It provides a thorough inspection of the structure and fabric, including all accessible areas. If you're unsure which you need, our team is happy to advise — just get in touch.
The physical inspection typically takes between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the property. A Level 2 survey on a typical terraced house might take 2–3 hours, while a Level 3 survey on a larger Georgian property could take 4–5 hours. You'll receive your written report within 3–5 working days of the inspection being carried out.
Yes — we have considerable experience surveying listed buildings across the world heritage city of Bath and the surrounding area. Bath has a high concentration of Grade I and Grade II listed properties, and our surveyors understand the unique challenges these buildings present, from Bath stone decay and lime mortar repointing to traditional roof structures. We always recommend a Level 3 building survey for any listed building purchase.
We provide surveying services across Bath and the surrounding Somerset areas, including Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, Wiltshire, North Somerset, Frome, Wells, Glastonbury, Trowbridge, Chippenham, and many more towns and villages throughout the region. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, please contact us.
Absolutely. A professional property survey is one of the most important investments you can make when buying a home. According to RICS data, around 1 in 5 buyers who skip a survey discover costly problems after moving in. Our clients regularly use the findings in their survey report to renegotiate the purchase price — often saving far more than the cost of the survey itself. One of our recent clients in Bath negotiated £15,000 off the asking price after our Level 3 survey identified significant roof and drainage issues.
Yes, we carry out snagging surveys and homebuyer reports for new-build properties as well as older homes. A snagging survey is highly recommended before you complete on a new build — it helps identify any defects or issues that the developer should fix before handover. Even brand new properties can have dozens of defects that go unnoticed without a professional inspection.
