Behind every new feature launch, ad campaign, and polished ‘ask a surveyor’ video (we know you love them)… is a lot of planning, problem solving, and figuring things out as we go.

Life as a startup means wearing multiple hats and building as you learn.

For Survey Shack, that means finding new ways to make property inspections more accessible, educational, and easier to understand for buyers and sellers alike.

A little behind the scenes from our latest shoot with Annabelle from Sigrid Media and Jack from Engels Productions vs the finished result.

We believe the UK property system needs a shakeup. Help us get the word out.

Surveyor tip for buyers and sellers: always look up in the loft.

Spray foam insulation might seem harmless, but it can make lenders extremely cautious. It can trap moisture against the timber, increase the risk of decay, and make the roof structure harder to inspect properly.

And the thing is… it’s usually very easy to spot.

Look between the rafters and underneath the roof covering. If spray foam is present, you’ll see it immediately.

For buyers, spotting issues like this early can help avoid costly surprises later in the process.

For sellers, understanding these kinds of issues upfront means fewer surprises during the survey stage, helping reduce delays, renegotiations, and potential fall-throughs.

Survey Shack helps you inspect properties with more confidence, guiding you step by step through your own property inspection and helping you understand what to look for from the very start.

You inspect. We guide.

Thinking of buying in a conservation area?

Nearly 10,000 conservation areas exist across England, and every single one has different rules, restrictions, and planning considerations.

They were created to protect the character and identity of an area, not just individual buildings, which is why buyers should always understand what they can and can’t change before committing to a property.

The Survey Shack app helps buyers make more informed property decisions from the start.

Climbing plants might look charming, but buyers should pay attention to what’s happening underneath.

Left unmanaged, vegetation can impact walls, guttering, pointing, and even lead to moisture issues over time. Fast-growing plants can also hide defects that would otherwise be visible during a property inspection.

It’s one of those details many buyers overlook at viewings, but surveyors won’t.

If you’re buying or selling a property, learning what to look for early can save you time, stress, and costly surprises later.

Survey Shack guides you through your own property inspection with simple, step-by-step prompts, helping you spot issues as you go. Then generate an instant report packed with tailored insights and key property data.

It’s officially Wisteria Hysteria time 😊

Wisteria in full bloom might be one of the most beautiful sights of spring 🌸

Originally brought to the UK as an ornamental plant, it’s loved for those dramatic purple cascades. But what many people don’t realise is just how powerful it can be.

It’s a fast climber that can grow up to 10 metres and, if left unchecked, can damage gutters, pull at brickwork, and creep into places it shouldn’t. Beautiful? Yes. Low maintenance? Not quite.

One to admire… but keep it under control. Regular pruning, proper support, and keeping it away from roofs and gutters is key.

🔊 Surveyor tip for buyers 🔊

When looking at a property, get a higher vantage point if you can.

From ground level, you can miss a lot of important (and potentially expensive) issues with a house.

Moss, lichen, slipped tiles, perishing mortar... these are all early signs of maintenance that could turn into blocked guttering, overflow, and damp inside.

These are the details that matter when you’re buying.

Don’t wait until you’ve paid for a survey to spot what’s already visible. With the right guidance, you can start identifying issues from day one.

Survey Shack guides you through your own property inspection, step by step, so you know exactly what to look for as you go. Then we generate an instant report with clear, actionable insights.

Survey Shack core is now FREE. Find us on the app store today 🩷

That “dream home” feeling? It’s exactly when you miss the stuff that actually matters.

Because behind the cosy vibe there could be:

⚠️ Tired roofs
⚠️ Damp hiding in plain sight
⚠️ Issues that cost way more than you think

This carousel walks you through 6 of the most common ones we see 👀

So before you fall in love… take a proper look.

🏠 Inspection and report now FREE, with the option to upgrade to surveyor post-inspection support if you’d like added peace of mind after.
