Our Valuations
We have surveyors who are registered with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and can provide highly accurate valuations. Our valuations are invaluable to our clients since they factor in variables that many underqualified industry professionals overlook.

At Andrew James Property Surveyors, our surveyors are highly qualified and at the top of their field.
As a surveyor is formally qualified in market valuation techniques and compiles a report to support their findings, a valuation from a RICS-accredited surveyor is more comprehensive than one from a high street estate agent, the RICS accredited valuation can be further used.
In addition, you can rest assured that a report from us will be impartial, allowing you to get the most accurate picture of the property possible. Being governed by RICS, our reports can be used for any official purpose you may deem necessary.
There are a number of uses for valuations, including:
- Help to Buy (Target)
- Shared Ownership
- Valuation for Inheritance Tax (Probate)
- Matrimonial Valuations
- Insurance Re-instatement Valuation
- Independent Personal Asset Valuation
- Re-mortgage Purposes
If you are thinking of selling your property it is very important to understand that pricing and valuing it correctly is absolutely critical, please read on.
We can assist you in choosing the survey that is best suited and appropriate for the property you are intending to purchase. The two most popular are the Building Survey Report (RICS Level 3) and the Home Buyers Report (RICS Level 2). Both of these will provide you with the information you require. Older properties, properties with extensions or those that have been converted are best suited to a Level 3 report.

What Our Clients Say
“We chose Andrew James Property Surveyors based on their excellent reputation. In a very short timeframe after contacting them, they scheduled a Homebuyers Survey (Level 2) for a price we considered to be very reasonable. Within 5 days of completing the survey, they sent a detailed report that was easy to understand and clearly outlined the areas to focus on for us and our solicitors. I couldn’t have asked for a better service. Andrew James Property Surveyors is definitely a company I would recommend.”
— Mr Alan B
“Exceptional service. We booked to have a Level 3 survey and valuation done on a property we were hoping to purchase. Both the survey and valuation were very thorough and I felt like no stone was left unturned. Andy was amazing, calling the same day the reports were issued to help understand the conclusions, plus we knew we could call if we had any further queries. We felt like we were in very safe hands and that we’d really been looked after. What a great team! Will definitely use them again.”
— Jane Paterson
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need a building survey?
Yes – even newer homes can hide issues that aren’t visible during a viewing. A professional survey gives you peace of mind and leverage in negotiations.
Which survey level should I choose?
For modern properties in good condition, a Level 2 Home Buyers Report is often sufficient. For older homes, listed buildings, or properties with extensions, a Level 3 Building Survey is recommended. We’re happy to advise on the best option.
Are your valuations accepted by lenders and official bodies?
Absolutely. As a RICS-accredited practice, all our valuations meet the required professional standards and can be used for official purposes.
How quickly will I receive my report?
We aim to deliver reports within five working days of inspection – and we’ll call you personally to explain the findings.
