Ashton Lee Surveyors | UK Home Buyer Survey Guide

Helping Essex homebuyers and sellers understand what surveyors actually look for during a property inspection.

Welcome to Ashton Lee Surveyors, an independent building surveying practice working across Essex. This channel gives a genuine, behind-the-scenes view of real building survey inspections, filmed by me on site using my iPhone while carrying out surveys on local homes.

With 100+ real inspection videos, I show how a UK surveyor assesses properties across Essex during HomeBuyer Reports (Level 2) and Building Surveys (Level 3) — covering roofs, lofts, walls, floors, damp, drainage, and structural movement commonly found in the area.

These aren’t staged examples or studio explanations. What you see is exactly what I see on surveys, explained in plain English — what the issue is, why it matters, and when it’s a concern.

If you’re buying or selling a home in Essex, watch a few videos, learn what to look out for, and consider subscribing if you find the content useful.
