- Our Services
Our Home Survey Services in Milton Keynes
Our surveyors carry out a full, detailed inspection of the property and set out plainly what is in good order, what is showing defects, and what may need your attention. There are three RICS home survey levels, and the right one depends on the property’s age, construction and condition.
Level 1 Condition Surveys
from £ 350 inc. VAT
A Condition Survey is the most straightforward option, suited to newer or well-maintained homes, including many of Milton Keynes’ modern estates. A RICS surveyor inspects the visible, accessible areas, applies clear condition ratings, and flags any urgent defects. It does not include a valuation.
- Report issued within 2 days
Level 2 Home Surveys
from £ 450 inc. VAT
The Homebuyers Survey is our most popular level and suits conventional properties in reasonable condition. It provides a more detailed assessment of the roof, walls, floors, windows, drainage and general structure, together with condition ratings, repair and maintenance advice, and an optional market valuation. This is the level 2 survey in Milton Keynes most buyers choose.
- Report issued within 2 days
Level 3 Building Surveys
from £ 650 inc. VAT
A Building Survey is our most detailed inspection, recommended for older, larger, altered or non-standard properties, such as the period homes found in Stony Stratford, Newport Pagnell and Olney. It provides an in-depth analysis of the structure, the likely causes of defects and the repairs recommended. Buyers often search for this as a building survey in Milton Keynes or a full structural survey.

- FAQ
FAQ About Property Surveys in Milton Keynes
Buying in Milton Keynes raises plenty of questions, especially if it is your first survey. Below we answer the ones we hear most, from which level suits your property to what a survey costs and how long it takes, so you can book knowing exactly what to expect.
It depends on the property's age, type and condition. A Level 1 Condition Survey suits newer, well-maintained homes; a Level 2 Homebuyers Survey suits most standard purchases; and a Level 3 Building Survey is better for older, altered or non-standard properties. If you are unsure, we will guide you before booking.
The cost depends on the property's size, age and location. A Level 1 Condition Survey starts from £350, a Level 2 Homebuyers Survey from £450, and a Level 3 Building Survey from £650. Every quote is provided with no obligation.
The best time is after your offer is accepted but before exchange of contracts, so you have time to act on anything the survey finds. In busy periods it is worth booking early.
Often, yes. Even newer grid-system homes can have snagging issues, drainage faults or damp, and a survey gives you an independent check before you commit. For brand-new builds, a snagging survey may be more appropriate.
A Level 1 typically takes 1 to 2 hours on site, a Level 2 around 2 to 4 hours, and a Level 3 half a day or more, depending on the property. The report follows promptly after the inspection.
