Advice

Thorough inspections and bespoke advice for each and every client.

I allow enough time in my schedule to inspect every property thoroughly, using the latest equipment, and I provide the highest quality reports and bespoke advice to each and every client.

Unlike some generalist surveyors, I am a residential surveying expert. I hold the Diploma in Residential Surveying and Valuation. I am an Associate of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), a RICS Registered Valuer and a member of the Residential Property Surveyors Association (RPSA).

My practice is regulated by the RICS.

Why use Stephen Michael Surveying?

There’s a lot of surveyors out there, so why should you choose me?

You’re not a number

Your situation and your property are unique.  So I take the time to get to know about you, your concerns and your questions.  That way, I can provide advice and support that is tailored just for you.

As long as it takes

As an independent surveyor, I’m not working to any targets. I’m more interested in doing a great job. If that means more time on site to make sure everything is properly checked, that’s okay with me.

Keeping you posted

It’s frustrating to book a survey and then not know what’s going on. I will stay in touch with you every step of the way.

Superior reports

I take real pride in my survey reports which are written by me, not by a piece of software. My reports are visually engaging, easy to understand and include genuinely useful information and annotated pictures to really bring things to life.

In your corner

As an independent, I have no ties to banks, solicitors or estate agents. That means my only interest is making sure you get the impartial advice that you need.

Service beyond the survey

My service doesn’t stop when I send you the report. I am available for a post-survey call or Zoom meeting to talk it through and answer your questions.
