Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our RICS surveying services

How quickly can you conduct a property survey?

Our team of chartered surveyors typically conduct property inspections within 3-5 working days of instruction, depending on availability and location. For urgent instructions, we can often arrange surveys within 24-48 hours. Survey reports are usually delivered within 3-5 working days of the inspection.

Our extensive knowledge of Tonbridge and the surrounding Kent area means we can schedule inspections efficiently and respond quickly to your needs.

What is the difference between a Level 2 and Level 3 survey?

RICS Level 2 (Homebuyer Survey): Suitable for conventional properties in reasonable condition. Uses a traffic light rating system to highlight urgent defects. Less detailed but more affordable.

RICS Level 3 (Building Survey): Comprehensive assessment for older properties, listed buildings, or homes of unusual construction. Provides detailed analysis of all defects, their causes, and repair recommendations.

Our RICS qualified surveyors can advise which survey level is most appropriate for your property during your initial enquiry.

Do you cover areas outside Kent?

While Tonbridge Surveyors specialize in Tonbridge and the surrounding Kent area, we also extend our services into East Sussex and parts of the South East. Our primary coverage includes Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Maidstone, and surrounding towns and villages.

For properties outside our usual coverage area, please contact us to discuss – we may still be able to help or recommend a trusted RICS surveyor in your area.

Are all your surveyors RICS qualified?

Yes, all our surveyors are RICS chartered surveyors (MRICS or FRICS) and are RICS regulated. This ensures we maintain the highest professional standards and provide you with the protection that comes with RICS regulation.

Our team of qualified chartered surveyors have extensive experience in building surveying, property valuation, and specialist services across residential and commercial properties.

What happens if the survey reveals major problems?

If our survey identifies significant defects, we provide clear advice on the severity of the issues and estimated repair costs. This information helps you:

  • Renegotiate the property price with the seller
  • Request that repairs are completed before purchase
  • Budget for future repair costs
  • Make an informed decision about whether to proceed

Our qualified chartered surveyors remain available after the survey to discuss findings and provide ongoing advice.

How much does a property survey cost?

Survey costs vary depending on the property size, type, location, and survey level required. As a guide:

  • RICS Level 2 Homebuyer Survey: £400-£900
  • RICS Level 3 Building Survey: £600-£1,500+
  • Property Valuations: £250-£800

Contact us for an accurate quote based on your specific property. We provide competitive pricing with no hidden fees.

Do you provide advice on party wall matters?

Yes, our experienced party wall surveyors provide comprehensive advice on all party wall matters under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. We can act as:

  • Building owner's surveyor
  • Adjoining owner's surveyor
  • Agreed surveyor for both parties

We prepare party wall notices, conduct schedules of condition, prepare party wall awards, and handle dispute resolution throughout Tonbridge, Kent, and surrounding areas.

Can you provide same-day survey appointments?

While we aim to accommodate urgent instructions, same-day surveys are not always possible due to scheduling and the need to properly prepare for each inspection. However, we regularly conduct next-day surveys for urgent cases.

Our local presence in Tonbridge and extensive knowledge of the surrounding Kent area means we can respond to urgent requests more quickly than surveyors based further away.
