My Story
Lee Dowdall, RICS Surveyor
DOWDALL SURVEYING
I left my corporate job because I knew I could provide a much better service with the freedom to make my own decisions. From the beginning, I engage with you, my client, get to know your vision for your new home, and tailor my advice accordingly. Bringing you into the picture, and discussing what you want, really helps me to provide meaningful advice. I ensure you can buy your next home with confidence.
Before qualifying as an RICS Surveyor & Valuer, I served 13 years in the British Army as a Royal Engineer. I spent a lot of time in various environments across various countries. Each one conditioned me into the person I have become today. Values and standards are the foundations of a good soldier and, of course, a good person. We learnt about these in the Army and displayed them at all times. We should all think hard about the values we wish to live by because that makes the world better. I have listed my top four values below, as I want to be held accountable.

My Mission
"I will ensure you can purchase your next home confidently by conducting a thorough inspection and providing a clear and concise report while maintaining communication between myself and you."

Clear, straightforward advice about the property, even when it's not what you want to hear.
Respectful
Your time, your home and your plans matter, and I tailor everything around them.
Reliable
One point of contact from first call to final report, doing exactly what I say I will.
Professional
RICS standards, a thorough inspection and a report you can trust.
Covering all of Nottinghamshire
I'm proud to be Nottinghamshire's own independent RICS Surveyor & Valuer, not a call centre, not a nationwide franchise, just me, doing the job properly, wherever in the county you're buying. From Mansfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield and Kirkby-in-Ashfield in the north, across to Newark and Southwell in the east, down to Nottingham, West Bridgford and Beeston, and out to Worksop and Retford — I know the housing stock across all of it, from Victorian terraces to newer estate builds, and the issues that tend to crop up in each.
When you book a home survey with me, you get one point of contact from start to finish: the same person who inspects your property is the one who writes your report and talks you through it, no matter which corner of Nottinghamshire you're in. No handovers, no call centres, just clear, honest advice from someone who's genuinely invested in helping you buy with confidence.
