Select Surveyors

What Select Surveyors does

Select Surveyors Ltd is a Scotland-based, RICS-regulated chartered surveying firm that has operated since 2014 as a privately held limited company (SC425473). The firm delivers Home Reports and related property services across the whole of Scotland from offices in Giffnock (Glasgow) and Edinburgh, serving primarily individual residential property sellers who are legally required under Scottish Government regulations to obtain a Home Report before marketing a property. Headcount is small (1-10 employees), and named professionals in the public materials include head surveyor Thomas and sales team member Gill.

Core offerings are organised around the legally mandated Home Report — a bundle of a Single Survey (property inspection and valuation), an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), and a Property Questionnaire (seller-disclosed information). EPCs are produced using RDSAP-certified government-approved software through ECMK accreditation. The firm extends the catalogue with Mortgage Valuations, standalone Property Surveys, Floor Plans, Scheme 1 Valuations, and Marketing Advice, and operates an Express Home Report Service with a 24-48 hour turnaround differentiated from the standard 5-working-day delivery. All services are performed by in-house RICS-qualified chartered surveyors.

The business model is direct-to-consumer transactional: unit-priced one-off fees starting from £99 per Home Report, scaled by property value and location, with discounts for multiple instructions or returning customers. Go-to-market is inside sales — online quotation forms, telephone contact (Glasgow 0141-632-6589, Edinburgh 0131-341-1733), and referrals from estate agents and auction houses (e.g., GRI Glasgow Residential Investments, Future Auctions Edinburgh). There is no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, no M&A activity, and no platform technology, API, or proprietary software product beyond RDSAP EPC tooling.
