How does it work?

About

Are you in the process of buying a home?

Have you had a home survey done that has highlighted issues with the property?

Your home survey lists the problems. We explain what they really mean and how much they're likely to cost.

 

We help you understand:

 

  • What matters

  • What doesn't

  • And what to budget for

 

This will help you:

 

  • Re-negotiate with evidence and confidence

  • Budget accurately

  • Or walk away with confidence

 

Our team of experienced builders specialise in analysing survey findings and applying realistic UK repair costs, based on current market conditions, practical assumptions and extensive knowledge.

No guesswork. No inflated figures. Just honest, professional insight. 

We will then send you a clear, detailed easy-to-understand estimation report which you can take straight to the seller or estate agent - giving you the evidence you need to

re-negotiate the price with confidence. 

Follow this simple 4 step guide:

  1. Click "GET YOUR ESTIMATE"

  2. UPLOAD your home survey

  3. Click "BUY NOW"

  4. We email you your Repairs Estimate Report.

WHAT DOES THE REPORT INCLUDE?

  • Executive summary of total estimated costs

  • Detailed cost breakdown for every issue

  • Priority breakdown

  • Negotiation insight

All for a fixed price of only £150
