Independent RICS home surveys, valuations, EPCs and floor plans across Ceredigion and West Wales. Thorough inspections, plain-English reports, and a surveyor who picks up the phone.
Buying a home?
A survey is your one chance to see a property clearly before it becomes yours. We inspect it thoroughly, explain what we find in plain English, and tell you what it means for the price you pay.
Whether you are buying, selling, letting or settling an estate, you get a chartered surveyor's view of the property and a report you can act on.

Level 2 for conventional homes in reasonable condition. Level 3 for older, larger or altered properties. Specific defect reports when one problem needs a clear answer.

Independent figures you, your solicitor and HMRC can rely on. Prepared to RICS Red Book standards and explained clearly.

EPCs for homes and commercial buildings, MEES advice for landlords, and measured floor plans for sales and lettings.
Also: schedules of dilapidations · compulsory purchase · compensation claims for roads, wayleaves and easements
Which survey do I need?
Pick the description that fits best. We will always confirm the right level when you call, and we never sell you more survey than the property needs.
Survey only
A clear, traffic-light report on the condition of a conventional home. It highlights defects, risks and legal matters for your solicitor, so you know what you are buying.
Floor plans
Every room laser-measured during our visit, with doors, windows and fixed fittings noted.
Walls, openings and stairs drawn up cleanly, floor by floor.
Room names, sizes and the total floor area, ready for your sale, letting or survey report.
Recent work
Two plans from our own files. Hover or tap to scan across from the line drawing to the finished, coloured plan.
Energy assessments
Selling or letting? You need a valid Energy Performance Certificate. Rented homes in England and Wales must reach at least an E rating under the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards.
We assess the property, show you which improvements would move the rating most for the money, and prepare MEES exemption letters where they apply.

Where we work
From our base at Oakford, near Llanarth, we survey and value property across Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, and further afield on request.
We know the stone cottages, Georgian townhouses and hill farms of this coast, and the issues that come with them: damp in solid walls, weathered slate roofs, and older houses that have been extended and altered over the years.
