Reducing Your Financial Liability in Property Transactions
Minimising Risk, Maximising Return
When budding buyers in Walton work with us, they have the freedom to purchase a family home with their eyes open. We provide accurate valuations, expert property advice, and several building surveys, so you can rely on our professionals to help secure your potential investment.
Evaluation of the building’s structural components, including foundations, walls, floors, and roof etc.
Inspection of the building’s exterior and interior, including walls, windows, doors, and cladding.
Assessment of the roofing materials, structure, and drainage systems to determine their condition and identify any leaks, damage, or areas of concern.
Identification of any dampness, moisture ingress, or water penetration issues within the building, including rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation problems.
Examination of the building’s mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, including heating, ventilation, electrical wiring, and plumbing fixtures, to ensure they meet safety standards.
Assessment of the building’s insulation and energy efficiency and opportunities for energy-saving improvements.
Identification of any health and safety hazards within the building, such as trip hazards, asbestos-containing materials, or structural deficiencies, and recommendations for remedial action.
Detailed report outlining the survey findings, including any defects, issues, or areas of concern, along with recommendations for repairs, maintenance, or further investigations.
Our building surveys are extensive and detailed but easy to read, understand and navigate.
Like many other chartered and building surveyors, we use a traffic light system that highlights urgent defects in a property and problems you could expect to encounter in the future.
With our Full Building surveys (HomeBuyer Reports), you can expect more than the Level 1 basics, with detailed reporting, photographs and cost estimates to resolve current problems. If you’re buying a new-build home, we can also assist with a Snagging List to ensure your developer repairs all the issues with the development before you move in.
Great experience working with Simon: he took me through the process in simple terms and was always willing to provide considered pragmatic advice.

I was recommended to use Westville Associates through a colleague to carry out a survey of a house we were looking to purchase. I couldn’t have been happier with the whole process.
From start to finish, Simon was professional, punctual, through and gave good advice with issues that arose from the survey.
I have and will continue to recommend Westville Associates to anyone wishing to carry out any surveys.

Simon carried out a full building survey for us on a property in Oxted. We found him to be prompt, professional, very knowledgeable, a great service all round. We would have no hesitation in recommending him and using him again.

We used Wesville Associates for a full Building Survey for our property in Claygate after a recommendation from a friend. Simon was very personable, knowledgable and professional, and was able to work around our tight timeframe. We felt in good hands from the start!

“Westville Associates undertook a homebuyers report for us prior to the purchase of our flat in Wandsworth. The service from start to finish was exemplary. Simon booked us in, undertook the inspection and presented the report to us all within 7 working days which was appreciated as time was against us somewhat. The after sales care was also great as we had several questions about the property that were dealt with over the phone. Friendly, professional and prompt service.
Would definitely recommend. Rob.”

I have worked in Surbiton and the surrounding areas as an agent for over 10 years and could not recommend Simon highly enough. He has a wealth of knowledge and goes above and beyond to ensure his clients fully understand the fantastic reports he creates, unlike many other surveyors who just send a confusing report without further explanation of key points.
I am so pleased Simon has set up his solo venture - Westville Associates and will be recommending him to all of my clients.
