How Our Survey Process Works

From your first enquiry through to receiving your report, we make the surveying process straightforward. We provide clear guidance at every stage, helping you understand your options and make confident decisions about your property.

Enquiry & Quote – The process starts with a conversation about the property you are buying and what you need from your survey. We’ll discuss your requirements, explain the available options and provide a clear quote based on your chosen survey.

Choosing the Right Survey – Every property is different, so choosing the right survey is important. We’ll help you understand the differences between the available survey types and recommend the most suitable option based on the property’s age, type and condition.

Property Inspection – Once your survey has been arranged, our surveyor will carry out a detailed inspection of the property. We assess the condition of the building, identify areas requiring attention and capture detailed photographic evidence to support our findings.

Clear Survey Report – Following the inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report written in clear, jargon-free language. Our reports highlight important findings, include supporting photographs and provide practical advice to help you understand the next steps.

Discussing Your Findings – We believe the support should continue after you receive your report. If you have questions about the findings or need further clarification, we remain available to discuss the results and help you understand the advice provided.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We selected JRV Surveys to carry out our Homebuyers survey for the house we are buying in the Altrincham area. They were extremely easy to deal with, very professional, and arranged the survey promptly with the estate agents. We received a detailed survey, with loads of supporting photos. I would highly recommend them!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. JRV Surveys provided a comprehensive report with a large number of photos and a plan showing where further work was required. We are proceeding with the sale and have commissioned a more specialist survey in response to their recommendations.

Excellent service provided, the survey was so detailed and accompanied by so many pictures that it really made the process of buying our next home so much easier and put our minds to rest about the state of the property.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a survey when buying a property?: A survey provides an independent assessment of a property’s condition, helping you understand defects, potential risks and future maintenance requirements. Arranging it before exchanging contracts gives you time to consider the findings and obtain any recommended further advice or repair quotations before becoming legally committed to the purchase.
Which survey is right for me?: The most suitable survey depends on the property’s age, construction, condition and any alterations, together with your plans for it. We will review the property details and discuss your requirements to help you choose the appropriate survey.
When should I arrange a property survey?: You should normally arrange your survey once your offer has been accepted and before exchanging contracts. Allow enough time to review the report, discuss the findings with your surveyor and obtain any recommended further investigations or quotations.
Where do JRV Surveys operate?: Based in Altrincham, JRV Surveys & Valuations provides property surveys and valuations across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire and surrounding areas. Please contact us with the property address to confirm coverage and obtain a quote.
