Offer description

Residential Building Surveyor – Prime UK Residential Portfolio (Remote)

Location: South Coast / Hampshire

Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 + car allowance + bonus potential


The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly regarded, independent surveying consultancy with an exceptional reputation across the UK residential market. Known for delivering premium, detailed surveys on high-value homes, this firm is continuing to expand due to sustained demand and a booming residential sector.


With the UK property market continuing to evolve and demand for high-quality Level 2 & Level 3 surveys increasing, there has never been a better time to position yourself within a business that sits firmly at the quality-led, non-corporate end of the market.


The Role

As a Residential Building Surveyor, you will:

* Undertake Level 2 (Homebuyer) and bespoke Level 3 (Building) surveys across a tailored local patch
* Inspect a diverse portfolio of character, period and high-value residential properties
* Deliver detailed, client-focused reports with clear, actionable advice
* Build trusted relationships with private clients purchasing some of the UK’s most desirable homes
* This is a home-based role, giving you the flexibility to manage your own diary and work in a way that suits your lifestyle.


Why This Role Stands Out

* True Autonomy
* You’ll have full control over your workload and schedule; no micromanagement, no rigid structures. Surveyors are trusted professionals, not KPI-driven operatives.
* Remote & Flexible Working
* Operate from home, plan your day around site visits, and achieve genuine work-life balance, flexibility is embedded in the culture.
* Real Growth & Progression
* This is not a static role. The business is expanding, and there is clear potential to progress into senior or even partnership level positions for ambitious individuals.
* Premium Brand & Reputation
* You’ll be joining a firm recognised for its high standards, independence, and technical excellence, with a strong reputation for delivering thorough, unbiased advice to clients.
* A Booming Market
* Residential surveying is experiencing sustained demand, with hundreds of active roles nationwide and strong salary growth, reflecting the continued importance of expert advice in property transactions.


What We’re Looking For

MRICS / AssocRICS qualified (or equivalent experience) ****Open to Sava Students nearing qualification

Strong experience delivering residential surveys (Level 2 & 3)

Excellent technical knowledge of building defects and construction

A client-first mindset with strong report writing skills

Ability to work independently and manage your own workload


The Package

Competitive base salary and bonus potential

Car allowance

Fully remote setup with full home office support

Professional fees & CPD fully funded

Generous annual leave & benefits package

Clear pathway for career progression


Why Make the Move?

If you’re currently in a corporate environment or feeling restricted by volume-driven surveying, this is your chance to step into a role where:

Quality is prioritised over quantity

You have full ownership of your work

You can build a long-term career with real upside
