Our Company History

Domestic Surveying Services was founded with one mission: to help homeowners get the very best from their new-build homes. Too often, buyers across the UK have felt disappointed or frustrated with the condition of their properties. We set out to change that.

From our base in Bournemouth, we’ve built a trusted team delivering inspections across the South Coast and beyond. Our goal is simple—identify issues early, push for higher standards, and give homeowners the confidence that their property is finished to the quality they deserve.

We turn stressful handovers into smooth ones, leaving happy homeowners free to enjoy the home they’ve worked so hard for.
