A selection of residential properties we’ve surveyed, showing the range of homes we inspect and the level of detail you can expect.
OBSURV were able to provide a quick and thorough report with all details needed. They were incredibly communicative and helpful, and went above and beyond to keep us informed - responding quickly and with helpful info when needed. We've used them for 2 reports and can't recommend enough :)

I used Peter to do a survey on a property I'm buying, was a very quick turn around and unlike any survey I've done before he offered a 360 virtual survey, which I found so much better than surveys I've done in the past! Well worth the extra money!! It's also nice to have someone go through everything with you and offer advice on how to approach the agent/tradesman. Would highly recommend!!

Peter completed two surveys for us, both times we had an excellent experience with him. Their surveys are very detailed, easy to understand with pictures, and excellent quality advice on how to repair and maintain old houses. Would highly recommend to friends and family.

First time buyer here. Peter has done two surveys for us- one level 2 and one level 3. We have been really impressed with the service and the communication with him afterwards. On top of it all he’s a really friendly and approachable guy. Couldn’t recommend more highly for anyone looking to take the stress out of surveys!

A Level 2 survey provides a clear overview of the property’s condition, highlighting any visible defects or areas of concern. It’s ideal for conventional properties in reasonable condition where no major issues are expected.
A Level 3 survey is a more detailed inspection, suitable for older, larger or more complex properties. It provides deeper insight into construction, defects and potential repairs.
Yes, even new builds can have defects, poor workmanship or unfinished items. A survey or snagging inspection helps ensure everything is identified before you fully commit.
Most surveys take a few hours on site, depending on the size and condition of the property. Larger or more complex homes may take longer.
Reports are typically delivered within a few working days of the inspection. We always aim to get your report back as quickly as possible without compromising detail.
Yes, a follow-up call is included to talk through the findings and answer any questions. We make sure you fully understand the report before moving forward.
