We are passionate about providing our clients with excellent customer service; from our straightforward booking system, to the final reports and support thereafter. Compared to some firms, we offer a good turn-around time for our reports as we ensure that we do not carry out numerous surveys in a day. We aim to give the inspection and report writing the necessary time and attention required, to ultimately ensure an excellent service is delivered for your property.
Our slogan is, ‘Your Property, Our Priority’, and we very much stick to those values, as we were founded upon the strive for quality over quantity within residential surveying. We are experienced and specialise in RICS Level 2 and Level 3 Home Surveys, Private Valuations including Help to Buy and Shared Ownership, New-Build Snagging Surveys, EPC’s (Energy Performance Certificates) and Drone and Camera Pole Surveys.
We are both knowledgeable and experienced in the geographical areas that we cover, and our surveys are always carried out by an RICS-accredited surveyor and registered valuer.
We serve areas within: Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Bedfordshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk.
The reporting software we use has been developed by RICS tech partners.
We also have the paid licenses for the RICS Level 2 and 3 Home Survey reports, rather than using homemade templates.
These features help to ensure that your report is both detailed and easy to understand.
‘Property Specific’ is a term often used within surveying, to convey the importance of ensuring all information provided is relevant to that specific property. We ensure that your needs are met by choosing the most suitable service, which can help prevent you from overpaying on a Level 3 survey for instance if a Level 2 is considered to be appropriate.
As an independent family-run company, we do not have to worry about overloaded diaries to meet targets that in turn may compromise the quality of our reports. We ensure that all the information within your report is not just specific to your property, but is necessary to be within the report. Each individual report is specifically tailored to the subject property and is proof-read prior to sending. Unnecessary jargon and caveats can often cause confusion, particularly if some phrases are not relevant to the property itself. Providing clarity via the means of property specific information is a must, and enables you to make suitably informed decisions regarding the most expensive purchase of your life.
We enjoy speaking with our clients, and this is not restricted to just solely before or after the inspection! By putting forward any information or questions you have regarding your property, we can ensure that those concerns are addressed. We find that clients benefit from post-inspection conversations in particular, to help their understanding of the reports. Other parties such as estate agents and solicitors also benefit from us doing this with our clients, so that they are not then sent numerous questions and concerns that we can otherwise answer or help to provide that necessary reassurance. Do let us know if you wish to discuss our services, or indeed your report in further detail!
We can utilise modern technology, such as drones and camera poles with cameras where necessary and possible, to ensure that crucial and expensive elements of the property, such as roofs and chimneys are adequately commented on. Simply regarding a ground-level inspection as a limitation does not provide clients with the information they need regarding such areas.
We have experience within the company of carrying out over 1,200 new-build snagging surveys for private customers and large developers. This sets us apart from other surveying and even new-build snagging companies, whereby we have experience in thermal imaging heat loss inspections, as well as the use of borescopes to inspect cavity wall insulation, or the lack of! Our experience and knowledge of such types of inspections will help ensure that building developers can rectify issues urgently, whether that is pre-completion or post-completion inspections in line with guidance from the New Homes Quality Board. You do not then have to worry about continuously providing the snags you come across, rather can be more concerned about what colour you are painting the walls and where you put the TV!
Bookings can be made via our quotation form, or by email and telephone. We will respond promptly and ensure that we help you choose the most suitable type of inspection for your property requirements. We keep you regularly updated throughout the booking process, and as mentioned, our service to you does not end when the report is issued.

In the very rare cases, some homebuyers may get to look in the loft. Even if they do, will they know what to look for or what is an issue even when staring at them in the face?
7th June 2024
Often marketed as another room, loft rooms can be an issue we find and must report on accordingly.

Issues such as disjointed downpipes, corroding metal fittings, or blocked guttering with vegetation can all be problematic.
"I recently used Eastern Surveyors for my upcoming property that I’m buying, they provided a very detailed and clear survey report on the house from start to finish. We scheduled in a phone call the day after the report had been taken to go over any issues before I received the documents on email, which explained any areas that needed looking at our explaining more.
Ben Waldron
Overall they provided an excellent 5 star service and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for survey on an upcoming purchase."
"Alex was very helpful and emailed back quickly every time. Kept us in the loop throughout and would answer any questions we had. George did the survey and went into a lot of detail and got the report back to us within a few days. Very good service and very reasonable quotes. Would highly recommend."
Robert Benney
"Had we not had such a thorough survey on the property we were looking to purchase, we would not have been made aware of some serious issues that made us think twice about the sale. Thanks to the survey we were able to save ourselves a lot of hassle and money buying a house with such issues. Highly recommend and would use again."
H Rode
"Fabulous service all round. Myself and my business partner were looking into buying a couple of properties locally, but we needed to make sure they would be the ideal investment. Having had George's detailed survey, we were made aware of a few minor issues with the properties that we wouldn't have picked up on."
Joe Swavesy
"The survey report that I received from Eastern Surveyors has been a huge help in my decision making. Prior to the survey being received I was aware of some issues, this survey highlighted that and more. I was a bit weary at first of using this company because the company has not been operating for long, but I am glad that I took the chance. The report I received was very detailed and included evidence. If I ever require another survey being completed in the future, I would choose this company again. The customer service was excellent."
E Bailey
"Eastern surveyors came to complete a survey on our property and we couldn't have asked for better service, George arrived on time and was able to answer any questions we had. The report was completed much quicker than anticipated. All in all a great experience! Thanks so much!"
