Independent RICS Surveyor in Mansfield

Buying a home is one of the biggest commitments you'll make. Know exactly what you're buying before you sign.

I'm Lee Dowdall, an independent RICS surveyor and RICS Registered Valuer based in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. I carry out Level 2 and Level 3 home surveys and Red Book valuations across Nottinghamshire and the surrounding areas.

Home Surveys and Valuations

Level 2 Home Survey

For conventional homes in reasonable condition. Clear traffic-light ratings show what needs attention and how urgently, with an optional valuation.

Level 3 Building Survey

For older, larger, altered or run-down properties. In-depth advice on construction, defects and repair options.

Red Book Valuation

Independent RICS valuations for probate, capital gains tax, divorce and transfer of equity.

A Survey Tailored to You

Growing family? Downsizing? Planning an extension? Tell me what matters to you, and I'll keep it in mind when I inspect the property and write your report.

What Your Survey Covers

Every report gives you what you need to make an informed decision, including:

  • Defects and sub-standard work

  • Health and safety matters

  • Legal issues for your conveyancer to investigate

  • Planning permission and building regulations

  • The local area and neighbourhood

You're not just another client to me. I became a Surveyor because I realised no professional was fighting my corner when I bought my first home. I'm here to help.

Client testimonials

Lee came to our house to provide a help to buy valuation. He gave a professional and efficient service, and explained the process clearly to us. Highly recommended!
Kate & Lee
We wanted an expert opinion on the home we were buying so we called Lee. He clearly explained the process and arranged everything after he took a few details. When the survey was complete, Lee called to discuss what he had found. We were very impressed with the service.
Jake
We were really worried about buying a house. We called Lee and he instantly put us at ease. Our report was very detailed, and some defects were found. Lee talked through these with us though over a video call, and we complete next week!
