We supply residential Home Buyer Surveys, Building Surveys and RICS compliant open market valuations for Help-to-Buy and probate purposes.
Our advice is honest, impartial and based on our extensive experience within the residential property sector and our knowledge of the local areas.
Purchasing a property is one of the largest financial commitments you will make so it is essential to be fully prepared. According to a recent study, the average cost of repairs discovered after purchase for those not investing in a survey is approximately £6000. It is, therefore, vital that a full and thorough inspection is undertaken before proceeding with your purchase and RJH Surveying can help you achieve this.
With our support and guidance, we can help you make the right choices when buying your new home.
Ideally suited to larger, more complex, older, extended or higher value homes. More comprehensive descriptions of construction and defects Explanations of how to go about rectifying defects Consequences of not carrying out repairs Understanding potential defects that could be present
A survey report format designed to reflect the condition of a traditional property that is more modern, of standard construction and not too big or complicated. Includes many features not found in other, similarly priced surveys, such as:- - Clear colour coded condition ratings for quick identification of the important issues - Multiple photographs and diagrams, helping you understand your new home - A jargon-free report that avoids many of the annoying caveats and exclusions often found in home buyer reports - A full debrief from the surveyor who will answer any questions you may have

RJH Surveying undertook a Home Buyer Survey on a new property that I was purchasing and from the very first telephone conversation right through to delivery of the Report itself, Richard was nothing but professional, informative, full of knowledge, willing to give advice and any enquiry I raised was responded to swiftly. It was a pleasure doing business with RJH and I would not hesitate to recommend their service and would definitely use again if the need arose.

Richard is very professional, knowledgeable and very reassuring. He sign posted and recommended me to the right people when he did my Home Buyer Survey for a purchase of my first home in Portchester. I would recommend to family and friends.

We contacted Richard following research to engage him to represent us in our intention of purchasing a property. We managed to find a property and put in an offer. We ask Richard’s advice regarding the property. He did a quick search on the buildings approval permissions and also looked at the property pictures and details of the conversion. Based on his research it highlighted some significant and potential problems which may have an impact for future selling. This placed us in a position to be able to assess the suitability of the property and the failings of the developer who obviously rushed to make a quick profit. As we are retirees and this would have been our forever home, it helped us in our decision to withdraw our offer and saved us a whole load of stress and potential heartache. A 15 minute discussion with Richard saved us £425,000 !! Phew!!. We are glad we did our research and came across Richard and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an extremely honest and very professional surveyor.

I would 100 percent recommend RJH Surveying, Richard spent time on the phone to me before carrying out the survey on my bungalow and then phoned me the day after he had completed it. He explained in depth his findings and answered all of my questions that I needed to ask. After he sent me the report I received another phone call with more helpful information.
It’s refreshing to have a company go above and beyond. Excellent service and I’m very happy that I choose Richard to carry out my home buyers survey.

Spoke to Richard on the phone before and after the survey to discuss one to one what was going on and when. The report was very detailed and useful to ourselves buying a house. Very professional! Would highly recommend!!!

Thank you for our report, we are really pleased with it and the level of detail hasn’t gone unnoticed. Being a first time buyer is exciting but also daunting so thank you Richard for making this part so straightforward. I studied conveyancing last year and the relevant parts of your report actually made more sense than my law textbook! Seems my exam would have been easier had I have bought a house first! I will be sure to pass your details onto any family/friends looking for a surveyor. Definitely recommend.
