Planning a home survey in Medway

Buying in Medway? Start with the property, not just the postcode.

If you are considering a home in Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Strood, Rainham and Hoo, send us the listing and the inspection you need. Service availability and suitability must be confirmed for the individual address before a booking is agreed.

Planning access across Medway

Give the exact postcode rather than only the town. If the property is occupied, identify the person who can arrange entry to all relevant rooms and communal areas. For a flat, explain which parts of the building can be accessed and what information the managing agent can provide.

Is a Level 2 survey the right choice?

Conventional homes in reasonable condition may suit Level 2. Unusual construction, significant alteration, listed status or poor condition can change that recommendation. Discuss the property before selecting a survey level.

Optional electrical, gas and fire checks

These are separate from the visual services inspection in a home survey. Include the specific checks you want so access and the appropriate professional scope can be considered together.
