Iain Bain Surveying

Born and raised in Colchester, my career began with Abbotts, as a Trainee Surveyor in 1982. Following successfully completing various courses at Colchester Institute, I moved on to what is now Anglian Ruskin University where I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Building Surveying.

The following year I successfully passed the Assessment of Professional Competence of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and was elected as a professional associate member in February 1996. Over the past 25 years, I have concentrated on undertaking residential pre-purchase RICS surveys on properties of all types, sizes, ages and condition within an approximate 30-mile radius of Colchester.

As a Chartered Surveyor, I strive to maintain the highest professional standards expected of me and obtain much of my work through personal recommendation and word of mouth. I pride myself in being thorough and professional, yet easy to deal with and am always happy to offer advice and guidance prior to and following the issue of the report. 

I offer informal impartial advice on which of the RICS Home Survey reports would be most suitable for the property in question. I can tailor any report to ensure any specific concerns or issues are fully covered. I am also an RICS Registered Valuer and an experienced Party Wall Surveyor
