Our Services

  • RICS Level 2 Survey (HomeBuyer Report):

    Buying in St Austell? Whether you’re considering a modern estate home in Carclaze or a traditional Cornish cottage closer to the town centre, a RICS Level 2 Survey is the smart choice for properties in generally good condition. Our clear, easy-to-read reports use traffic-light ratings to highlight urgent issues such as damp, roof wear, or outdated electrics—common problems in many St Austell homes. Unlike basic inspections, we also include a market valuation and maintenance advice, giving you the confidence to renegotiate if necessary and avoid costly surprises. With Cornwall Property Surveys, you get more than just a report—you get peace of mind in one of mid-Cornwall’s busiest property markets.

  • RICS Level 3 Survey (Building Survey):

    St Austell has a wide mix of properties—from older granite cottages and Victorian terraces to larger rural homes on the clay lands. For these types of properties, a RICS Level 3 Survey is the most thorough option. This in-depth inspection looks beyond surface-level issues, uncovering problems such as subsidence, damp in stone walls, or timber decay in older roofs. Our reports don’t just identify defects; they provide detailed recommendations for repairs, alterations, and long-term maintenance, tailored to the property and its location. If you’re investing in one of St Austell’s character or higher-value homes, a Level 3 Survey gives you the reassurance that you fully understand the building’s condition—and helps you avoid expensive surprises later.

Our RICS Red Book valuations provide an independent, reliable figure you can trust—vital in a market where property values can vary widely, from affordable family homes on modern estates to larger countryside residences around the clay villages. We combine local market knowledge with up-to-date data to ensure precision, giving you the confidence to make informed decisions without the risk of overpaying or underselling. With Cornwall Property Surveys, you receive a professional valuation that stands up to scrutiny from lenders, solicitors, and HMRC alike.

The property market is more affordable, with averages around £303,000, and properties ranging from post-war semis to detached family homes. Trends show a decline of up to 3% recently, with increased supply leading to longer sales and buyer-friendly conditions.

Unlike many non-RICS providers, our surveys meet the highest professional standards. The difference is in the detail: our reports don’t just tick boxes—they provide clear explanations, actionable advice, and the confidence you need to make the right decision.

Before you choose a surveyor, we recommend comparing reports. Many competitors produce documents that are brief and generic; ours are comprehensive, specific, and designed to protect your investment. In the long run, the quality of your survey is far more important than saving a few pounds upfront—an inferior report could miss defects that cost thousands to put right.

At Cornwall Property Surveys, we combine RICS accreditation with a commitment to clarity and professionalism, giving you real peace of mind when buying in St Austell.
