Not normally. Our guide prices include normal travel to Portsmouth. If an address needs a ferry or an unusually long journey, we tell you the cost before you book.

The method is the same, but older terraces, cottages and newer estates each have their own quirks: lath ceilings, low pitches or trussed roofs. We plan for the loft we find.
