Senior RICS Residential Surveyor
RICS Surveyors in Poole
Home Surveying provides professional RICS Level 2 and Level 3 Surveys and detailed property inspections across Poole and the surrounding Dorset area, helping buyers fully understand a property's condition before making a financial commitment.
Our RICS-qualified surveyors carry out comprehensive inspections throughout Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Wimborne Minster, Broadstone, Parkstone, Canford Cliffs, Sandbanks, Wareham, Ferndown, Verwood, Swanage, Dorchester, and the wider Dorset region. We deliver clear, independent advice tailored to homebuyers, property investors, and clients purchasing older or more complex properties.
We have extensive experience surveying a wide range of property types, including coastal homes, period properties, listed buildings, modern apartments, bungalows, and properties that have been extended or significantly altered. Our surveyors inspect all accessible areas of the property and prepare detailed reports in accordance with RICS standards, highlighting structural defects, repair requirements, and important maintenance considerations.
Each report includes a straightforward traffic light rating system alongside supporting photographs, making it easier to understand the condition of the property and identify areas requiring attention. Our surveys assess structural movement, damp penetration, roofing defects, timber decay, insulation, ventilation, drainage concerns, and the overall structural integrity of the building.
Poole and the surrounding Dorset coastline feature a diverse mix of property styles, from luxury waterfront homes in Sandbanks and character properties in Wimborne Minster to modern housing developments in Ferndown and Broadstone. Coastal locations can also present specific property concerns, including salt-related weathering, exposed roofing materials, damp issues, and deterioration caused by coastal conditions. Our experienced surveyors understand the regional construction methods and the common defects affecting properties across Poole and Dorset.
At Home Surveying, we provide honest, reliable, and professional surveying advice to help buyers make informed decisions with confidence. Whether you are purchasing a seaside apartment in Bournemouth, a family home in Poole, or a period cottage in Wareham, our RICS Level 2 and Level 3 Surveys give you the clarity and reassurance you need before moving forward.

EXCELLENT Based on 407 reviewsPosted onGurrinder ShergillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic experience with Kyle W for a Level 3 survey. Being a first-time buyer, the whole process felt quite daunting, but Kyle's expertise and invaluable advice completely put my mind at ease. He was thoroughly impressive, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. I couldn't recommend him enough!Posted onRamya PurkantiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to thank Matthew Barton for a very detailed Level 3 survey. The report was extremely detailed, clear, and practical — it helped us understand the property properly and made the whole process feel far less intimidating (we are first-time buyers). Matthew was also very patient and responsive when we took time to work through the report and come back with questions. What really stood out was how thorough he was, and how reassuring his guidance felt. He even messaged to say he felt we’d got a good deal, which gave us real confidence in our decision. We’d highly recommend Matthew to any buyer, especially first-time buyers who want a surveyor who’s meticulous and has your back.Posted onT BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
