Choosing a surveyor
Chartered surveyors
Chartered surveyor is a title for members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Anyone can call themselves a surveyor. Check membership on RICS's own website.
Which survey
Ask what the survey covers, whether it is a full building survey or a lighter report, and when you will get it.
Local knowledge
A surveyor who knows the area and the local building types can spot common problems faster.
How to check a surveyor yourself
GotAPal lists businesses from public records and does not check or vet them. Before you hire, do these checks yourself. They take a few minutes.
- If the surveyor trades as a limited company, look it up on Companies House: check it is active and the name and address match.
- Ask for their public liability insurance certificate and check the dates on it.
- Get a written quote that lists the work, materials, price and when payment is due.
- Never pay a large sum up front. Pay in stages tied to work done.
- Check any RICS membership on RICS's own website.
- Companies House: search the register: Free to search. Shows whether a limited company is active, when it was set up and who runs it.
