 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently used Cosey Homes for a property survey and were very impressed with the service provided. The survey was arranged quickly, communication was clear throughout.

The survey itself was thorough, detailed, and easy to understand, highlighting both major issues and areas that may require attention in the future. The findings gave us a much clearer understanding of the property's condition and helped us make informed decisions during the purchase process.

Overall, a reliable and professional service that provided excellent value for money. I would happily recommend Cosey Homes to anyone purchasing a property.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm very happy with the service I received from Ian for my Level 3 Survey. His report was thorough, detailed and highlighted important issues that I wouldn't have been aware of otherwise. He also took the time to answer my follow-up questions in detail after the survey, providing clear explanations and helping me better understand his findings. This gave me a much clearer picture of the property's condition and what needed further investigation before proceeding with the purchase. I really appreciate his professionalism, attention to detail and willingness to help. I would happily recommend his services!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a Level 3 Building Survey carried out and couldn’t be happier with the service we received!

We dealt with Sadie over the phone, who was always so polite, friendly and helpful.

Philip carried out our survey and was incredibly thorough and detailed. He provided so much useful information and really took the time to cover everything, which gave us great peace of mind.

Our survey was carried out on the Wednesday and we received the full report by Monday, which was an amazing turnaround compared to other companies we had looked into!

Fantastic service from start to finish. Would definitely recommend! 😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service on a tight deadline

We needed a retrospective RICS Red Book valuation of our London flat for a Right to Buy District Valuer case, with barely two weeks to the submission deadline. Cosey Homes delivered from start to finish.

Kit Lam responded to our enquiry the same day, asked the right questions about the brief and kept us updated throughout. Hugh Barber inspected the property within days and produced a thorough, well-reasoned report four days ahead of the promised date. The report covered everything in our instruction: the retrospective valuation date, the statutory basis, comparable evidence including a same-block sale, and clear reasoning behind the figure. The quality control from the wider team, including Anthony who followed up afterwards, was a nice touch.

A professional firm doing exactly what they promise, when they promise it, at a fair price. We would use Cosey Homes again without hesitation and recommend them to anyone needing a specialist valuation under time pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kingston Upon Thames property survey advice

Everything you need to know about property surveys in Kingston Upon Thames

A professional home survey is an essential tool in the property buying process that gives you a clear picture of the property asset you are about to invest in. At Cosey Homes, we offer residential valuations, building survey (Level 3) and reports that are independent from mortgage companies and estate agents. We take great pride in our professional approach, giving impartial expert advice on any building to help you make the right purchase decision. Our survey reports are designed to be easy to understand while packed with useful information to enable you to make a considered decision based on facts and figures.

RICS Homebuyers Survey (Level 2)

A Homebuyers Survey (Level 2) is a mid-range property investigation that we would recommend for modern homes built with conventional materials and methods that are in a good state of repair. The survey itself is non-invasive, based on a visual property inspection of the accessible parts of the building. At Cosey Homes, we use a templated reporting format that is easy to reference and understand, with a traffic light system to denote the severity and urgency of any issues found. The report delivers a useful overview of the building’s overall condition, highlighting any obvious defects, and serves as a valuable tool to help you make an intelligent decision on how to proceed with your purchase. It also includes a free market valuation.

RICS Building Survey (Level 3)

Once known as a ‘full structural survey’, the RICS Building Survey (Level 3) is the most in-depth investigation we carry out. It is recommended for homes that are more than 70 years old, larger properties, ‘fixer uppers’, listed buildings and non-standard properties. A detailed visual inspection will assess the property’s condition and state of repair, providing details of all major faults and defects including damp issues, structural movement, timber decay, woodworm and rot. The report also includes our expert recommendations for repair and remedial action, as well as future maintenance requirements, including costings.

Residential Valuations

Our highly trained RICs Registered Valuers have extensive knowledge of Kingston, Surrey and the surrounding area. We provide accurate residential property valuations that are a world away from an informal market appraisal you would get from an estate agent. Our valuers are formally qualified in market valuations techniques and calculations to arrive at robust figures that can be relied on in many formal contexts. From personal asset valuations to divorce proceedings, insurance and mortgage purposes, probate or tax matters, the Cosey Homes team can help.

Obtaining expert independent advice before you make a major financial commitment such as a property purchase is plain old common sense. Giving your new dream home the ‘once over’ with a property survey means there won’t be any costly nasty surprises down the line, and you could potentially save yourself a whole lot of trouble.

There are so many different types of survey available, we’re not surprised that you might be confused. Contact our team for professional guidance, so we can talk you through all the options, including the pros and cons of each survey, empowering you to make the best decision on your terms.

Since our surveyors are not qualified gas or electric engineers, we are legally not allowed to test any services. What we can do is carry out a visual inspection for commentary, and recommend further testing by a qualified professional.

Reinstatement costs are different from the market value of the property – and usually substantially lower. That is because the figure represents the full cost of rebuilding the property from scratch and is usually calculated for insurance purposes. It has nothing to do with the property market.

Once our surveyor has completed the report and it has passed through our quality control checks, you will receive an email with your copy as a PDF document. Please let us know if you also require a hard copy in the post, and we can arrange this for an additional fee.

At Cosey Homes, we pride ourselves on our excellent customer service and work as quickly as we can to get your report to you. We aim to deliver all survey or valuation reports within 5 working days from the date of the site visit.

An RICS HomeBuyer Report (Level 2) is a mid-range survey while an RICS Building Survey (Level 3), formerly known as a full structural survey, is an in-depth investigation. If you require a highly detailed assessment of the condition of the property, perhaps because the building is very old, very large or requires substantial renovation work, a Building Survey (Level 3) will be the better choice of the survey.
