Written by the company

We specialise in RICS Level 2 HomeBuyer Reports, RICS Level 3 Building Surveys, Structural Movement and Subsidence Inspections, and Drone Roof Surveys for houses and flats of all ages, from modern developments to period properties. Every survey is carried out by an experienced RICS-qualified Chartered Surveyor, ensuring a detailed inspection and a clear, practical report. Our surveys are written to help buyers understand the true condition of a property, identify potential risks, and make confident decisions before committing to a purchase. Where access is limited, we also use drone technology to inspect roof coverings, chimneys and other elevated areas that cannot be safely viewed from ground level. Clients choose Dunham Hale for our independent advice, clear reporting and responsive communication before and after the survey. We believe a good survey should not only identify issues, but also explain what they mean and what steps may be required next. Whether you are buying your first home, investing in property, or purchasing a period building, our aim is to provide professional surveying advice you can trust.

Amazing. We recently had a Level 3.

We recently had a Level 3 with Dunham Hale Chartered Surveyors at a property we are buying in Highgate. The property is in poor condition. Neil found almost 70k estimated defects. We have just renegotiated on 50% of this so we are very pleased. Just a note that the drone survey of the roof and chimney stack was worth it. This was the bulk of the 70k with a new roof and two new chimney stacks needed. The report was super detailed and communication with Neil excellent. Best survey we have ever had so much so we have recommended to a friend of ours. Thanks we are very pleased.

Refreshing to find a company these days where you speak with the person doing to work. Neil and Dunham's were excellent. Neil is very experienced and knowledgeable and knows what he's doing. Process was easy, filla form, pay the invoice then booked survey. Neil called before the survey and afterwards. The report was detailed and we opted for a Level 3 with a Drone. What we found were issues with roof, minor damp, new boiler needed and few other issues. We managed to negotiate 16500 off our original offer. A credit to his profession and to RICS. Very pleased

We are very impressed with Neil and Dunham Hale Surveyors. Quality report and communication. The report is a little different than we had before using other companies but in a good way. The report is well structured and easy to read. If you're looking for an independent surveyor in and around London I highly recommend. Thank you

Very very good

Very very good. Saved a few pounds based on the report detail. Quite a lot of damp that we were not aware of when we first visited. Would certainly use Neil and Dunham's again for our next London property.

Impressed in St Johns Wood

Impressed with the quality and well structured report, communication and number of photos. Drone survey was excellent. We are buying a 100 yr old flat in St Johns Wood and needed a Level 3. Impressed.

Hi Atul, We really enjoyed carrying out the survey for you. Thank you for your kind words and for trusting us with your Level 3 Survey in St John’s Wood.

Very very good. Good Comms, structured easy to understand report, quick to book. The drone survey was a real bonus that highlighted some issues. Property recently refurbished but still some issues we were not aware so worth the money we spent. 5 star and we would use again for sure

Not cheap but money well spent

We were buying a house in Crouch End and that fell through when we had Dunham Hale Surveyors booked in. We finally found our dream home in Muswell Hill and instructed Dunham's to carry out a Level 3, free drone survey and valuation on a detached period home.

Amazing service start to finish. Neil was very communicative and went above and beyond. Refreshing to speak to an independent business that cares rather than a sales team.

Post survey, several comms with Neil on how we proceed and finally we negotiated 26k off the house. We certainly got our money's worth.not the cheapest but by no means the most expensive. Thanks Dunham Hale Surveyors.

Fantastic experience

We needed a survey fast for an auction property in Islington, North London. Up stepped Dunham Hale Surveyors and completed in 3 days. We opted for the RICS Level 3 / Building Survey which included a free drone.

Very good and easy to deal with. We like the day after phone call and the free drone and everything helped us bid with confidence. Thank you for a professional smooth experience.

Excellent by miles

We were approached by several companies but Dunham Surveyors stood out for the drone survey, ease of booking and for the very professional conversation with Neil. The report was very detailed and structured and easy to read. Lots of issues with the house we were buying in North London, that we were unaware of. Not a cheap survey by any means but for us, £1600 for the money we saved on the house was a tenth and money well spent. Excellent service and quality from start to finish. Advised to friends abd family.

Top Marks - Quality

Recently had a RICS Level 3 survey for a house we are buying in Islington, North London from Dunham Hale Surveyors. Very impressed. While they are a small company this doesn't detract from the fact that the communication, advice and quality of the report was top drawer. We discovered issues about the house we were well aware and managed to negotiate £9500 off the original offer. Definitely worth the money we spent. Special mention to Neil who went out of his way to go through every point of concern within the report.

Excellent. Very detailed report. Lots of photos and even a video and drone survey. Our house in SE London was in poor condition and we saved a lot of money. Neil was very good and spend 30 mins going through the report afterwards. Recommended to friends and very pleased.

Very pleased indeed. Excellent

Recommended by two people to use Dunham Surveyors. We are buying a semi detached in SW London and found them very easy to deal with. The whole process was straightforward. We had the quote, filled in the form and Dunham's did the rest.

The report was very detailed but easy to follow. We saved £37,000 off the property and very pleased. The Drone survey was very handy and Neil is pretty experienced as a Surveyor so we felt confident throughout and from the recommendations. Cost seemed quite expensive at first but when you look at what we saved it turned out to be a wise decision. All in all excellent
