Why Choose a Professional Property Survey?
A Mortgage Valuation Is Not a Survey
Many buyers are surprised to learn that a mortgage valuation is carried out for the lender’s benefit, not the buyer’s. In many cases, lenders no longer instruct a surveyor to physically inspect the property at all.
A professional RICS Home Survey provides independent advice on the condition of the property, helping you identify hidden defects, understand future maintenance liabilities and make informed decisions before you commit to the purchase.
At Wyvern Surveyors, we provide clear, practical reports in plain English, helping buyers purchase with confidence and avoid costly surprises later on.
The Facts:

Matterport Surveys (3D Virtual Tours)
Matterport technology allows us to create fully immersive, high-resolution 3D models of a property. This enables a comprehensive visual record of the building, allowing you to explore every room and space remotely, at your own pace.
These surveys are particularly useful for gaining a clearer understanding of layout, condition and spatial relationships, and can be revisited at any time after the inspection. They are also beneficial for sharing with third parties such as contractors or legal advisers where required

Such a quick process booking our level 2 survey for our house purchase. I contacted Wyvern surveyors on the Monday, in which they called me to get booked in by Monday afternoon. They then managed to book it in for 2 days later - the Wednesday- and we had our survey results on Friday! 10/10 from Wyvern Surveyors. I will be recommending to everyone!
