Covering Powys, Shropshire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire
If you have found yourself on this webpage, you are likely seeking to purchase a property that is at least 100 years old and you are uncertain about the condition of the building.
A Heritage Building Survey (Level 3) is specifically recommended for older buildings. These structures are often constructed from traditional materials and may feature complex construction.
This detailed survey of the property and its site will identify any defects, including potential or hidden issues, offering insights into the likely causes and guidance on rectification. It provides a comprehensive breakdown of the building’s condition, prioritizing issues from red (urgent, within 12 months) to green (within 6 to 10 years). This information is crucial for making informed decisions on repairs, alterations, and maintenance, allowing you to effectively plan and budget.
As you consider purchasing an older property, it is advisable to instruct a RICS regulated Conservation Surveyor to conduct your survey. This professional adheres to the high standards when inspecting your prospective home and possesses the experience necessary for working with historic structures. They not only understand traditional construction but can also provide appropriate advice and guidance on defects and repairs. There are not many of us around! Please see our ‘ABOUT’ tab for more information on our Surveyor’s credentials.
