We received an extremely detailed survey from Joshua Weston, which contained really useful information. The level of detail that Joshua provided helped us with planning, and allowed us to go ahead in purchasing our new home. The communication with Fourth Wall was excellent throughout, and we received polite and friendly updates in a timely fashion from Zoe.

From my very first interaction with Forth Walk I was impressed. The speed that the quote was delivered, works booked in and the turn around time of the finished report was excellent, also the quote was competitive. As a surveyor who has worked in the industry for many years I have come across a variety of firms, however, this one truly stands out.I wish Josh and his team all the best for the future and I offer Fourth Wall my full recommendation to anyone thinking of using their services!

I can't thank Fourth Wall enough for his professional, efficient, and superb service. We got booked in for the house survey in just a few days and then communication with the team was fabulous. The report is fantastic - really thorough but easy to understand too - and a follow up chat offered to explain the details of the issues and recommendations. The professionalism, efficiency, and communications of Fourth Wall are really impressive and I highly recommend them without reservation!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Do You Need a Home Survey?

You don’t legally have to get a survey when buying a house, but it’s highly recommended and can save you a lot of money further down the line. Did you know that a quarter of homebuyers who didn’t have a survey are hit with unexpected bills for property repairs, which equate to a whopping £3,676 on average!? 

By enlisting the help of our RICS residential surveyors, you’ll eliminate the risks of any unexpected costs and financial loss from issues that arise once you sign on the dotted line, which you could be liable for.

What Are the Benefits Of a Home Survey?

There are a whole host of benefits when it comes to home surveys, and they often end up paying for themselves! A house survey can help you:

  • Avoid unexpected costs in the form of repairs
  • Negotiate a fair price for the property at hand
  • Get a full understanding of the property’s condition, good or bad
  • Prepare for future works on the property

How Much Does a Home Survey Cost?

The cost of a house survey starts at approximately £400, but the cost can vary depending on:

  • The value of your property
  • The number of bedrooms
  • If your house is old or has a listed status
  • If there are any special features present
  • The type of survey conducted (a level 3 survey will be more expensive than a level 2 home survey, as the survey goes into more detail, for example)

In a recent study, it was found that surveys that highlighted an issue with the property led to an average discount of £5,744 on the house (which is far more than the survey itself!) – so they certainly pay for themselves.
