How to choose a property surveyor
Start with experience relevant to your location, property type and circumstances. Compare the proposed scope, timescale and total fee rather than selecting on price alone. Ask who will do the work and how updates will be provided.
Checks to make before instructing
Review qualifications, professional memberships, insurance and recent experience where relevant. Request written terms that explain the service, exclusions, fees and complaints process. PropertyZoom provides a directory; users should independently assess whether a professional is suitable.
