Real reviews from real clients who trusted Blackpool Surveyors with their home-buying journey.
"I was buying my first home on Layton Road and had no idea what to expect from a survey. James put me completely at ease and the report flagged a damp issue that saved me thousands in the negotiation. Brilliant service — I'd recommend Blackpool Surveyors to anyone."
"We bought a Victorian terrace in Poulton-le-Fylde and David completed a Level 3 building survey for us. The report was incredibly detailed — photos of every defect, repair cost estimates, the lot. Worth every penny. Fantastic local team."
"Sarah surveyed a Bispham bungalow for us. The report came back within 4 days, written clearly without all the legal jargon. She even called to talk us through it. Genuinely outstanding customer service — proper local surveyors who actually care."
"Used Blackpool Surveyors for a Level 2 survey on a seafront property in Cleveleys. The report was thorough and highlighted some issues with the coastal exposure that we hadn't even thought about. Incredibly professional and knowledgeable team."
"Excellent RICS surveyors in Blackpool. Quick turnaround on our homebuyer report and the team were very responsive to questions. We used the findings to negotiate £8,000 off the asking price. Amazing value."

Got a question? Here are the most common things our clients ask before booking a survey in Blackpool.
A RICS Level 2 home buyer survey (also called a homebuyer report) is a visual survey suited to properties in reasonable condition. It uses a traffic-light rating system to highlight issues but doesn't include an in-depth structural analysis.
A RICS Level 3 building survey is our most thorough option. It's highly recommended for older properties, period properties, Victorian terraces, and any home you're planning to extend or significantly renovate. The Level 3 survey includes detailed descriptions of all defects, their cause, and estimated repair costs. If you're buying a property in Blackpool built before 1950, we almost always recommend a Level 3.

Our survey report will explain the issue clearly, give our opinion on the likely cause, and suggest appropriate action. We also include estimated repair costs where possible. We'll follow up with a free call to talk you through the options — whether that's asking the seller to fix issues, renegotiating the price, or in some cases, deciding not to proceed. It's our job to give you the information you need to make the right choice.
