What they offer
Building survey
It is crucial to include a building survey as part of the acquisition process, whether you are buying a residential or commercial property or entering into a full repairing and insuring lease.
Residential survey
Each level of survey provides increasing detail on the property's condition, potential defects, and necessary repairs.
Condition survey
This provides a clear assessment of a property's current state, identifying defects, areas of deterioration, and maintenance requirements.
Technical due diligence survey
Our Technical Due Diligence survey provides a comprehensive assessment of a building's condition, identifying repair liabilities, potential risks, and projected future costs.
Commercial survey
Our Commercial Surveys provide a detailed assessment of a property's condition, identifying defects, repair liabilities, compliance issues, and potential risks.
As described on channelpc.co.uk. Check details with them before you book.
In their words
- “We are recognised by banks and mortgage lenders, ensuring your survey meets the professional standards expected for property transactions.”

How it works, in more detail
A lender’s valuation is not a survey
Your mortgage lender instructs its own valuation to check the property is adequate security for the loan. It is not a report on the property’s condition for you. If you want one, you commission a homebuyer report or building survey separately.
Surveying is not regulated by Jersey law
No Jersey law licenses surveyors. Membership of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) is voluntary, so where a firm says it is RICS regulated, that is its own statement and one you can check on the RICS register.
Survey levels
RICS home surveys come in three levels: a condition report (Level 1), a homebuyer report (Level 2) and a full building survey (Level 3). For suspected structural problems, a structural engineer can report on the building before you buy.
Energy certificates are not required
Jersey planned to require an energy performance assessment on every sale and new let from January 2026. In January 2026 the Government delayed that until further notice. It still part-funds voluntary home energy audits.
