The Costly Mistake Most Yorkshire Property Buyers Make

Your property has secrets. We find them.

Discover how our detailed building surveys protect your Yorkshire investment.

WHAT WE DO

Why Our Building Surveys Matter

Complete Picture – Thorough examination of all accessible parts of the property, revealing issues that casual viewings always miss

Future Planning – Clear identification of immediate and long-term maintenance needs, helping you budget effectively for years to come

Negotiation Power – Evidence-based insights that have helped our clients negotiate substantial reductions on asking prices

What Lies Beneath the Surface

A property might look perfect during a viewing, but what about the parts you can't see?

Did you know that most property viewers spend more time choosing a pair of shoes than inspecting their potential home?

Our building surveys examine every accessible element of your Yorkshire property, from foundations to roof. We identify current defects, potential issues, and maintenance requirements that could affect your decision or budget.



With both Level 2 and Level 3 surveys available, we tailor our approach to your specific property and needs.

Your Building Survey Journey

The MKN Building Survey Difference

Most surveyors give you a report. We give you understanding.

Want to know why so many property buyers still face unexpected repair costs even after a survey?

Our building surveys go beyond simply listing defects. We explain what each issue means for you, prioritise concerns, and provide practical recommendations.

With specialist heritage certification and local Yorkshire knowledge, we understand regional building practices that general surveyors might miss.



"Our reports are written for people, not professionals – clear, straightforward, and actionable."

Real Client Experiences

Client Success Stories

MKN were highly responsive and reliable from the outset, providing an excellent building survey report that was clear and detailed. Matthew was happy to tailor his survey to address themes of particular interest and to field follow up queries. He provided advice that was appropriate to the age of the building (19th century) based on a detailed understanding of traditional building techniques. Highly recommended.
