About Us

Michael Ashby

House 4 House Limited was established by myself, Michael Ashby MRICS, as a sole proprietor local surveying business in 2012. I've been a fully qualified RICS surveyor since 1998 after graduating with a BA (Hons) degree in Real Estate Valuation. I gained my vast experience in property surveying working as a general practice surveyor for local firms Graves Jenkins, Sussex Surveyors & Crickmay Chartered Surveyors. I now specialise in providing HomeBuyer Reports for private buyers, predominantly within my home City of Brighton & Hove, but also incorporating the wider Sussex area when workload levels allow.

This bespoke specialist service liaises with you, the buyer, from the outset - establishing any concerns or issues that you may have upon your initial viewing of the property, as well as determining the type of survey most suitable to use (refer to Survey Options section). Your instructions are then confirmed to you in writing, whilst an appointment for inspection is made. A verbal summary is always provided after inspection, to speed the sale transaction process along and also to outline the main issues involved, before the full written HomeBuyer Report is sent to you shortly after by email and/or post.

Our HomeBuyer service aims to provide you with clear & objective advice in plain English. It is intended to protect the buyer, as much as practically possible, from any pitfalls in relation to the condition of the property to ensure that it is being "sold as professionally seen". House 4 House is an independent, Companies House and RICS affiliated business with no connection to any of our referrers, such as estate agents or solicitors. You can therefore be rest assured that our advice is always given in an impartial and professional manner at all times.
