Fee questions

Is the lowest-priced survey always suitable?

No. The survey should match the property’s risks. Choosing too limited a service for an older or altered building can leave important questions unanswered.

Will I know the final fee before instruction?

Yes. A written quotation should confirm the fee and scope before you instruct the surveyor.
