Did you know… not all surveyors are regulated? 🤔

At Acton & Co Building Consultancy, we’re proud to be RICS Regulated — but what does that actually mean for you?

It means we’re held to the standards of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, a globally recognised professional body.

In practice, that comes with a few important assurances:

✅ We follow strict professional and ethical standards
✅ We carry the appropriate professional indemnity insurance
✅ Our work is independently regulated and monitored
✅ You have access to a formal complaints handling procedure

In short, it’s an extra layer of accountability and quality control.

Buying, leasing or managing property comes with enough uncertainty as it is.

Working with a regulated firm helps remove some of that risk and gives you confidence in the advice you’re receiving.

If you’re ever unsure what to look for when appointing a surveyor, feel free to reach out.

RICS Level 2 vs Level 3 — which survey do you actually need? 🏠

RICS Home Survey Level 2: standard condition assessment, traffic light ratings, suitable for newer or conventional properties in reasonable condition.

Home Survey Level 3 (Building Survey): full structural inspection, detailed defect analysis, suitable for older properties, unusual construction, or if you're planning major works.

🌟Rule of thumb: if your London or Kent property was built before 1970 or you have any concerns — always go Level 3.

We recently completed a RICS Level 2 Home Survey on this beautiful property in Kent. We also provided early-stage technical advice on proposed refurbishment and internal remodelling works.

Buying a home is a big decision, so having the right technical guidance makes a real difference. We’re pleased to have supported our client with the clarity and confidence they needed to proceed with the purchase.

If you’re buying and want independent, professional advice, feel free to get in touch.
