Expert Building Surveys in Haywards Heath
Our team provide building surveys in Haywards Heath for property owners, investors, developers, landlords, occupiers, and residential buyers who need clear advice on condition, defects, lease issues, neighbouring structures, and planned works. Our role is to give you a straightforward view of the building, the risks attached to it, and the most sensible next step. We also cover nearby Lindfield, Cuckfield, and Burgess Hill.
We can help with:
- Building surveys: to assess condition, identify defects, and highlight repair priorities before purchase or works.
- Commercial building surveys: for owners, investors, landlords, and occupiers reviewing condition, lease issues, or building-related risk.
- Party wall matters: where proposed works affect a shared wall, boundary, or nearby structure.
- RICS Home Survey Level 3: a more detailed residential survey for older, altered, or more complex homes.
Commercial and Residential Surveying in Haywards Heath
We are led by Scott Buchanan MRICS, who brings over 25 years of surveying and construction experience. Since the business was established in 2013, we have worked across both residential and commercial instructions, with support ranging from initial surveys through to wider building consultancy and project-related advice.
In Haywards Heath, that means we can support clients at different stages of a property decision. Some need a building survey before purchase. Some need a commercial building survey, dilapidations advice, or licence to alter support. Others need help understanding whether the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may apply before works begin. We also provide wider support across project management, contract administration, architectural design, refurbishment advice, and related building consultancy services.
As a RICS-regulated practice, we focus on advice that is clear, practical, and proportionate to the building and the level of risk involved.

Chartered Surveyors Covering Haywards Heath
Haywards Heath has established residential areas, a busy town centre, and a recognised commercial district. Lindfield adjoins the town but retains its own character, while nearby Cuckfield and Burgess Hill add to the wider local property mix. That means local instructions can range from residential pre-purchase surveys and Level 3 reports to commercial building surveys, party wall matters, dilapidations, and wider project advice.
How It Works
- Get in Touch: Call us on 0207 651 0000, email hello@squarepointsurveyors.co.uk or use our online enquiry form. Tell us what you are dealing with and we will tell you honestly which service fits, what it involves and what to expect. No obligation, no pressure.
- Instruction and Survey: We confirm your instruction, agree a date and attend the property. For Mid Sussex instructions we pay close attention to the specific construction, condition and history of the property.
- Your Report: You receive a clearly written report setting out exactly what we found, what it means and what we recommend. Whether you need to negotiate on price, act on a defect or simply proceed with confidence, the report gives you what you need to make that call.
- Aftercare: Once the report is with you, we stay available. Questions about a specific finding, help interpreting something for a solicitor or contractor, or guidance on next steps – we are on hand without you needing to re-instruct.
Frequently Asked Questions
For many older, altered, or more complex residential properties, a RICS Home Survey Level 3 may be the right choice. It provides a more thorough inspection and a detailed report with advice on defects, repairs, maintenance, and any further investigation that may be needed.
Yes. We work with commercial property owners, investors, occupiers, and tenants on matters including commercial building surveys, condition surveys, dilapidations, licence to alter, contract administration, and project management.
A party wall surveyor advises where proposed works affect a shared wall, boundary, or nearby structure and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may apply. We can help with notices, awards, and the wider process where required.
The fee depends on the size, age, type, and condition of the property, as well as the scope of the survey. We will discuss the property with you first and then provide a clear quote.
Dilapidations usually arise at or near the end of a commercial lease, when the condition of the property is assessed against the tenant’s lease obligations. A schedule sets out alleged breaches and works claimed, and a quantified demand sets out the landlord’s claimed loss.
