1 · The property

2 · Survey level

3 · Drone roof survey

A drone records every slope, ridge, valley, chimney and flashing in high resolution — the parts of a house most likely to cost you money and least likely to be visible from the ground. Add-on £95 + VAT.

4 · QS repair cost report

A chartered quantity surveyor puts a budget figure and a priority against every Condition Rating 2 and 3 defect — the evidence buyers use to renegotiate. Add-on from £125 + VAT depending on level and size.

How the fee is built

Transparent by design.

Size and value

The base fee steps by property band — whichever is higher of price, floor area and bedrooms. Bigger and higher-value homes take longer to inspect and carry more responsibility.

Age and construction

Pre-war, pre-1900, listed, stone and extended property attract a modest uplift because there is more to examine and more to explain.

Travel from Morpeth

A flat travel charge by drive-time band from our Morpeth base: nothing within 30 minutes, then £40 / £80 / £130. Over 75 minutes we quote individually.
