Ray Young Frics
If you are planning on moving to a new home, it makes sense to ensure that what will probably be your largest lifetime purchase is structurally sound and free from major defects which can cost 1000's to rectify. I carry out a comprehensive inspection and provide a detailed report on the condition of your potential purchase.

I am also happy to discuss the survey report with you to ensure you fully understand any defects found during my inspection before you proceed with the purchase of the property. I offer an independent personalised service to my clients and am happy to talk through any concerns you may have with your potential new home.

As a chartered building surveyor, I have been offering personalised services since 1991. I can survey your building and I am happy to discuss the survey report with you to ensure you fully understand any defects that I have found during my inspection. I cover the whole of the Isle of Wight and the South Coast.
Services
If you are planning a new extension, or receive a Party Wall Notice from your neighbor contact Ray Young FRICS who will be able to advise you on all aspects of the Party Wall Legislation under the Party Wall etc Act 1996. Work close to (3-6 metres Notice) of an adjoining owner's building or boundary may, under certain circumstances, be subject to the Act. to ensure everything runs smoothly and avoiding any potential legal issues.
I carry out inspections to all property types to identify defects and recommend appropriate remedial work (or further investigations) where necessary. If you have a problem with damp or any other issue with your home I can help by inspecting the property and preparing a report on the problems, how they are being caused and the best way to carry out repairs to keep your property in good condition.

Ray was responsive, kind, efficient and thorough and he made such a difference to my house buying journey. I have nothing but praise for his service and I would highly recommend him to others without any hesitation. Thank you Ray!

Ray has been involved in various projects and giving property advice to me since 1993. He is both knowledgeable and approachable. I would highly recommend him to anyone particularly regarding building surveys and identifying property defects. I am hopefully moving to the Isle of Wight soon and will definitely engage Ray to carry out a building survey on my new property. His integrity has always been unquestionable.

After researching the reviews on Mr. Young's website I commissioned him to carry out a level 3 RICS survey. His report was very thorough. For the purposes of a speedy response and to ensure I understood the defects which were picked up in the inspection he provided me with an early draft report. A final version was then provided.
I have since used his services to assist me with a full property refurbishment. I have found him to be very knowledgeable and able to suggest alternatives which I had not initially considered.
I have found Mr. Young to be always professional but able and willing to discuss

Awful! He submitted a draft report with a really serious error in it. This meant that I couldn't trust the rest of the report and that I ended up having to withdraw my offer on the house.

Very good and helpful service. I received a draft copy of the report by email the day after Ray had done the survey. Which when purchasing a property, it is very helpful to know asap if there is, or is not, any serious defect in the structure.
