If you’re planning to buy a home in Caterham, a RICS Homebuyer or Building Survey gives you an expert, independent view of the property’s true condition—before you proceed.
From period houses near Caterham Valley and the High Street to 1930s semis in Whyteleafe and modern homes across Caterham on the Hill, our RICS-accredited surveyors deliver professional reports that reflect local property types and construction risks common in Tandridge and East Surrey.
We assess key concerns like movement on clay subsoils, damp in older homes, roof defects (including flat and shallow-pitched styles), inefficient insulation, ageing electrics, and poor airflow—issues that may not show during estate agent viewings.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, upsizing within Surrey, or investing in a rental property, our Homebuyer Surveys offer peace of mind and allow you to plan ahead with clarity and control.
With strong rail links to London and good access to the M25, Caterham remains a popular choice. A detailed survey from a local professional helps you make confident, informed decisions in this competitive market.
