A Coventry Surveyor Who Helps You
Avoid Unexpected Repair Costs
Purchasing a property is probably the biggest financial decision you'll ever make. Yet thousands of buyers in Coventry and across Warwickshire skip a professional survey every year — only to discover costly problems after they've signed the contracts.
One of our clients, a young couple buying their first home in Earlsdon, called us after their offer was accepted. "We almost didn't bother," they told us. Our Level 2 homebuyer report revealed serious subsidence issues the seller hadn't disclosed. They renegotiated £18,000 off the asking price. That single survey paid for itself more than 50 times over.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, an experienced investor or a seller wanting to understand the overall condition of your property before listing, our clear and concise reports give you everything you need to make well-informed decisions.

Client Reviews
What Coventry Property Buyers Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what real clients across Coventry and Warwickshire say about our professional survey service.
★★★★★
We used Coventry Surveyor when buying our Victorian terrace in Earlsdon. The report was incredibly detailed and flagged rising damp we'd have completely missed. We used the findings to negotiate a lower price. Prompt and professional from start to finish.
★★★★★
As a landlord with multiple properties in Warwickshire, I've used several surveying firms over the years. Coventry Surveyor is by far the best — highly experienced, reliable and the survey reports are clear and concise. Wouldn't use anyone else.
★★★★★
Booking was quick and easy, the surveyor arrived on time and the report came back faster than expected. Really appreciated the follow-up call to walk me through the findings. I'm now a well-informed buyer — exactly what I needed. Brilliant service.
★★★★★
The Level 3 building survey on our Kenilworth farmhouse was incredibly thorough. The report highlighted potential subsidence issues we then had independently verified. Without this survey, we could have faced tens of thousands in unexpected repair costs. Worth every penny.
★★★★★
I instructed Coventry Surveyor for a fire risk assessment on my retail unit in Rugby. The report was comprehensive and gave me peace of mind that we'd taken all the right fire safety measures. Very professional and knowledgeable team. Highly recommended.
★★★★★
As a first-time buyer in Nuneaton, I had no idea what type of survey I needed. The team walked me through all 3 surveys and helped me choose the right one for a 1970s semi. Their expert guidance and support during the home-buying process was invaluable. Top marks.
Real Results
Understanding the Condition of a Property Before You Buy
Subsidence. Damp. Structural movement. These are the hidden issues that can turn your dream home into a financial nightmare. Our experienced surveyors know exactly where to look.
Take this example: a property in Rugby listed at £260,000. Our Level 3 building survey identified significant subsidence issues that the structural engineer confirmed. The buyer was able to renegotiate a £22,000 reduction — and received a detailed risk assessment outlining the remediation works required.
That's what a chartered building surveyor does. We don't just write reports. We help you understand the condition of a property in full — and help you find the right path forward.
Subsidence & Structural Issues
Identified and explained in plain language with repair recommendations.
Damp & Condensation
All forms of damp — including penetrating, rising and condensation — assessed.
Repair Cost Guidance
We include approximate cost guidance to help you negotiate and plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
New to property surveys? We've answered the most common questions from property buyers and sellers across Coventry and Warwickshire.
We offer 3 surveys to suit all property types and buyer needs. Our Level 2 RICS homebuyer report is ideal for modern, well-maintained properties. Our Level 3 full building survey suits older, larger or unusual homes. We also offer standalone property valuations and specialist fire risk assessments. Not sure which is right for you? Our team is happy to advise — just submit an enquiry.
Survey costs vary based on property size, type and age. As a rough guide, a Level 2 homebuyer survey in Coventry typically costs £350–£500, while a Level 3 building survey ranges from £500 to £800 for larger properties. We always provide a fixed, transparent quote before you commit — there are no hidden fees.
The on-site inspection for a Level 2 homebuyer survey typically takes 2–3 hours. A Level 3 full building survey on a larger or older property may take 4–6 hours. Your detailed survey report will be delivered within 3–5 working days of the inspection.
Level 2 and Level 3 refer to the depth of inspection. A Level 2 RICS home survey (formerly the homebuyer report) is a visual inspection that rates the condition of each element and highlights defects. A Level 3 building survey is far more comprehensive — it probes deeper into the structure, identifies concealed defects and gives more detailed repair recommendations. It's the right choice for older, larger or non-standard properties.
Yes. All of our surveyors hold current accreditation under one or more of the following: RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors), CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building) and RPSA (Residential Property Surveyors Association). We are proud to maintain the highest standards in residential surveying across Coventry and the Midlands.
Absolutely. Survey reports are one of the most powerful tools in a property negotiation. When defects are found, many buyers use the survey findings to negotiate a price reduction or request that the seller carries out repairs before exchange. Our survey reports are written to be clear and concise specifically so they can be used effectively in negotiation. Read our guide on using a survey to negotiate.
Yes. While we're based in Coventry and specialise in local property, our team covers a wide area including Warwick, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Rugby, Nuneaton and beyond into Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Oxfordshire. See our full areas covered page for more detail.
