How to choose the right home survey
Surveys, valuations and expert evidence, quoted on the property
A range of surveying and valuation instructions, quoted individually so the fee matches the house — not a call-centre tariff.
Independent expertise, 35 years in practice, and you deal directly with Kev.
The practice
One surveyor, personally responsible
Kev inspects, values and reports himself. No panel, no call centre, and no corporate overheads sitting between you and the person who visits the house.
Why instruct KD Surveying?
Independent expertise, without the overheads
On an older North West house, a proper survey regularly pays for itself. You are not one file among hundreds in a national panel.
You deal with Kev
He inspects, values and reports himself. Direct access to the surveyor who will visit the property.
Damp and timber
CSRT qualified — particular strength on moisture, decay and the older housing stock of the North West and Wales.
Expert witness
MEWI member. Housing disrepair and building-defect opinion for solicitors, courts and housing providers.

RICS surveys, valuations and housing disrepair — instructed properly
Why a home survey is essential
Peace of mind before you commit
A survey is not a formality. It is how you find the problems a viewing — and a lender’s valuation — will miss.
Negotiating power
Significant defects give you a reasoned basis to renegotiate, request repairs, or walk away before you are committed.
Avoid costly repairs
Catch damp, movement, roof weather and unsafe services early, while you still have options.
Informed decisions
Know what you are buying. A clear report is cheaper than a surprise after completion.
Your questions, answered straight
No sales script. No switchboard.
Ready when you are
Send the property address, asking price and a note on age or condition. Kev will come back with a competitive, independent quote — or a quick call if that is easier.
