My name is Louise Lumsden, I am an independent Chartered Surveyor. After many years working with a number of surveying firms in the rural and residential sectors, I founded Bricks and Mortar Surveys (Wessex) Ltd with the aim of providing a personal, reliable and professional service that is focused on you, the Client.

Buying a home is a big step, and is likely to be one of the biggest financial commitments you will make – so it’s essential to be fully informed before you commit. A professional survey is essential for protecting your investment and ensuring peace of mind. A survey will give you a better understanding of the property, including how it is built and of its condition, identifying any potential issues that could require costly repairs or affect its value.

I aim to be “by your side” from the first call, to discussing the best survey level for the property you are buying, throughout the survey and afterwards, being available not only to talk through the report with you, but for any queries in the process until you get the keys to your new front door.
