Hughes Surveyors

Giving you peace of mind when buying a new home…

Hughes Surveyors was established in 2000 by Chartered Building Surveyor, John Hughes. John Hughes has over 22 years of experience surveying a wide range of different building types and brings his comprehensive technical understanding of building methodology to his surveying work.

We are an independent company based in Ringwood and cover Hampshire, Dorset and Devon, including the postcode areas of Southampton, Dorchester, Salisbury and Exeter. All surveys are carried out by property expert, John Hughes.

We have an excellent working knowledge of this local area and the properties in the location, so you can be confident that extensive knowledge and skill will be brought to your house survey.

As buying a house can be one of the biggest purchases in a life time, it is vital to know as much as possible about the structure and condition of the property you want to buy. At Hughes Surveyors we offer the full range of house surveys, including RICS Homebuyer Reports and Building Surveys that can be personalised to your exact requirements.

If you have any specific concerns about the property you are intending to purchase, the survey can be tailored to suit you and your property requirements. We do all we can to provide a service that is of the highest quality.

As Hughes Surveyors is an independent company, we act solely on the behalf of our clients, providing advice and assistance in a clear and impartial manner. We are a friendly and personable company, ensuring that we are available to clients should they wish to contact us for further information about the survey and report.

We aim to have reports sent out within 3 days of the survey date and we are happy to discuss the report once you have read it.

We are regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Contact us today to discuss the requirements for your survey – we could save you thousands of pounds on potential future repair costs.

The whole process was straightforward and worked well. John Hughes was available by phone before the survey, and gave excellent feed-back and advice when we met him at the property after his survey. His report was comprehensive and a useful check list for our ongoing project.

John Hughes carried out a home buyer's report for us: his price was competative, he was easy to contact, helpful and thorough. Afterwards he talked through and explained the report, answering a number of questions, which was very useful and informative. Thank you!

The survey carried out was helpful. However, the electronic report, which was promised in 3-5 working days took 10 days to arrive. When I rang up to ask some questions and ask for a hard copy of the survey, John Hughes said he would ring back and put a hard copy in the post that afternoon, but he never rang back and the hard copy was not posted till 3 days later.

We did have a delay in producing survey reports last month due to illness from our administrative staff, which has been resolved. We usually only provide email copies of the report, to keep costs down, and do have to charge for paper copies.

John did a good job and very promptly did the survey. The report took a little longer to arrive than indicated due to John having some family issues, hence 4 star not 5 star. harsh I know but we are in tight times where service is everything. But I would use John again which is the best recommendation after all

We were really impressed by the service we received from John Hughes. He responded very quickly to our request (despite being on holiday himself!) and his full structural survey (for an old granite house) was extremely thorough. He took the time to talk through the survey on the phone in detail, which was much appreciated. He also gave us extra advice after a builder had a look at one of the issues he'd found. Great value for money. Highly recommended.
