Quick answers
Can I really survey my own home?
For straightforward domestic projects, and where it is permitted and the conditions are met, yes. We give you a clear measuring guide and check your figures, saving you up to £450. Complex or listed properties still need a professional.
How much does a measured survey cost?
A professional domestic measured survey typically costs up to around £450, which is what the guided self-survey route can save you.
What do you produce from the survey?
Accurate existing floor plans, elevations and sections, the baseline every planning and Building Regulations set is built on.
Can I really measure my own property?
For straightforward domestic projects, where it is permitted and the conditions are met, yes. You get a clear measuring guide, and we check your figures before drawing anything. That is what saves you up to £450. Listed, complex or large properties still need a professional survey.
What happens if my measurements are wrong?
We check them against photographs and standard proportions and come back to you before drawing. Accuracy at this stage is what every later approval is measured against, so we would rather query it than build a set on a bad baseline.
