Whether you are buying a home, have just received the keys to a new build or need help understanding a building defect, the aim is the same: make the next step clearer.
Independent reviews of existing property surveys and building reports, including RICS Level 2 and 3 surveys, defect reports and specialist findings. Understand priorities, repair implications and the questions to ask next.
Explore survey reviews →Independent inspection of visible workmanship and finishing issues in a newly built home, with findings recorded clearly so you can raise them with the builder.
Read about snagging →Practical guidance on concerns such as cracking, damp, roofing, external walls, leaks and maintenance. Understand possible causes and when specialist investigation is needed.
Read about defect advice →A focused visual inspection of agreed concerns or general condition, with a written summary of observations and sensible next steps.

Read about quote reviews →Planning an extension or renovation? Get practical feedback on drawings, specifications, proposed work and builder quotations before work starts. Design approval, structural design and statutory sign-off remain with the relevant qualified professionals.
Discuss your building project →With over 27 years of experience across construction, housing and property surveying, I bring a practical perspective to property concerns — from how buildings are put together to how defects are identified, specified, prioritised and managed.
My background includes hands-on trade experience alongside surveying, project delivery and housing maintenance. I aim to give customers clear, balanced advice without unnecessary jargon or pressure.
Share the property type, location, deadline and the issue or report you want help with.
I will confirm whether the service is suitable, what information is needed and the fee before proceeding.
The agreed work is completed within the confirmed timescale, subject to access and information provided.
Receive clear findings, priorities and recommendations for sensible next steps.
Our standard residential survey review is £149. More extensive or complex instructions are quoted individually, with all fees agreed before work begins.
For one suitable existing residential survey report, focusing on significant findings. Particularly extensive or complex reports may require an individual quotation; any additional fee is agreed before work begins.
Fee depends on property size, location, access and report requirements.
Agreed to suit the issue, location, time required and level of reporting.
A practical review of your proposed extension or alteration before you commit to a builder.
Yes, subject to an agreed scope and the documents supplied. I can highlight practical construction considerations, scope gaps, allowances and clarification questions. This does not replace an architect, structural engineer, building control approval, contract administrator or designer.
No. A review is a separate explanatory service based on the documents and information supplied. It does not replace the original survey, a formal RICS Home Survey, a valuation or advice from a structural engineer or other specialist.
No. A remote review is limited to the information provided. A visual inspection is limited to accessible areas and the agreed scope; concealed or specialist issues may require further investigation.
Where there is enough reliable information, an indicative range may be provided. It is not a fixed quote, and actual costs depend on access, specification, location, opening-up and contractor pricing.
The intended service is independent advice rather than selling repair work. Any actual or potential conflict of interest should be disclosed before accepting an instruction.
The initial focus is South Wales for on-site work. Remote document reviews may be possible elsewhere in the UK, subject to the property, the request and the agreed scope.
No RICS status is claimed on this website. A M Property Consultant's stated credential is MCIOB Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Building. The service is not advertised as a formal RICS Home Survey or valuation.
Share a few details and I can let you know whether the service is suitable, what information would help and the likely fee before you commit.
