We first met Terry when he came to survey our own home (on behalf of a prospective buyer). We found him to be polite, professional and respectful of our property. So much so that we engaged him to conduct a survey upon our behalf - Georgia seamlessly handled the booking and arranged it with the estate agent for us which was incredibly helpful. We found the resulting survey to be clear, detailed, thorough and well evidenced. Terry was available for questions afterwards and happy to talk us through all the details. Terry has also conducted surveys for members of our family and they have spoken very highly of him. All in all an excellent service, we highly recommend this family run business.

We found this company through looking at their reviews on the internet to carry out a L3 property survey. Upon our first contact with Georgia at the company we received really positive vibes and decided to instruct them to carry out the survey. The price was very competitive against other companies we had contacted. Georgia kept us informed from start to finish of the process, always responding to our messages and phone calls.  Terry was able to carry out the survey promptly and provided an extremely detailed excellent and professional report. We were able to contact Terry on the phone following receipt of the report and he answered several questions that we had, putting our minds at rest. Would have no hesitation in recommending Structura going forward.

Georgia and her team provided a really thorough and detailed Level 3 survey for the property we decided to purchase. It gave us the assurance we needed to make the huge decision of buying a home!

From the moment I contacted Stuctura the service has been exceptional. I got a quote back almost immediately followed by a phone call from Georgia who explained my options. Not only did she do that she took it upon herself to call the estate agent and book in the survey when they were slow to get back to me!! Throughout the process she kept me updated and then on the day of the survey checked in to say it had been completed, nothing to worry about and that the report would be with me within the agreed time. Which it was, almost on the dot. The survey report itself was incredibly in depth (if not a little daunting) but again Georgia reassured me before I opened it that it would be detailed and not to panic. And thank god she did!! Then to put my mind at ease I did a call with Terry who outlined the key things to go back to my solicitor with. The entire process was seamless and a weight lifted in what is an incredibly stressful time. I’ve already recommended them to several people and would not hesitate to use them again! (I’ve not been paid for this haha, they really are that good)

🏠 This survey didn't just save me money, it saved me from the biggest financial mistake of my life! As a first-time buyer, I'll be honest I stumbled across Structura completely by chance while browsing Google. I had no idea what I was looking for & no idea what questions to ask & no idea just how much I didn't know. Does that sound familiar? 😅 From the very first phone call, that changed 📞 Georgia answered & what struck me immediately was that she wasn't trying to sell me anything. She just... listened 👂 She walked me through every survey type with patience and clarity. NO pressure, NO upselling, just honest guidance! She told me a Level 3 Home Survey and RICS Valuation with Internal Floor Space Measurement was the minimum for real peace of mind regardless of property age or type but she made clear the decision was entirely mine. I thought about it and then I went one step further 💭 I opted for the full package: Level 3 Home Survey 📋 Drone Survey 🚁 Independent RICS Valuation 💰 Internal Floor Space Measurement 📐 Reinstatement Cost Assessment 🏗️ At the time, it felt like a lot of money. Looking back now? It was the best money I've ever spent. By a long, long way 💯 📋 When the report landed, I wasn't prepared for what I read. Terry's survey was exhaustive and genuinely one of the most thorough documents I've ever seen and what it uncovered was shocking 😮 The property had at least £50,000 worth of major repairs required 🔨 That figure didn't even include the smaller maintenance issues flagged throughout. The true cost? Considerably more. But that still wasn't the biggest revelation. The independent valuation came in at £550,000 📉 Completely unbiased, based purely on the evidence. And then there was the floor space. The estate agent advertised the property at approximately 109 sqm Terry's RICS-measured internal floor space? 93 sqm That's a 17.5% discrepancy 🤯 Nearly one-fifth of the floor space I thought I was buying - simply didn't exist. That's not a rounding error. That's not a grey area. That's the kind of difference that fundamentally changes what a property is worth and it's something almost no buyer would ever spot on their own. ⚖️ Armed with the facts, I went back to the seller. The gap between the asking price and independent valuation was close to £200,000. I presented the evidence clearly. They refused to budge so I walked away. Happily 😌✌️ That moment felt like freedom. Without this survey, I'd have had no idea. I could have exchanged contracts and only discovered the truth when it was far too late. Instead, I left with my savings intact and complete confidence I'd made the right call 💪 The property has since been relisted. Whoever buys it next, I hope they get a proper survey done too. 🏡 💡 Here's what every buyer needs to understand: When you apply for a mortgage, the bank doesn't care what price you've agreed. They care what the property is actually worth. If their valuation comes in lower - say you're buying at £1,000,000 but they value it at £850,000 then they may refuse to lend you the full amount. That gap becomes your problem 💸 An independent survey isn't just about identifying damp or structural cracks. It's about knowing the true picture before you're legally committed. It's the only truly independent voice in the entire process. Everyone else (i.e. the seller and Estate Agent) has an interest in the deal completing. Your surveyor doesn't 🔍 🙏 Georgia and Terry. I genuinely cannot thank you enough. Georgia made me feel informed and in control at every step. Terry produced a report of extraordinary detail and rigour. Between them, they gave me something far more valuable than a document. They gave me the facts I needed to protect myself. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're buying a property, please don't skip the Level 3 Home Survey + RICS Valuation with Internal Floor Measurement to save just a few ££!! What feels like an optional extra is the single most important investment you can make in the entire process! Get the proper surveys done. It's not a cost. It's a shield 🛡️
