Chester isn’t short of character, with Georgian terraced streets inside the city walls, Victorian homes in Hoole, or the new-build estates around Upton. But behind every charming house front, there could be hidden problems that only a professional survey will uncover.
Our fully accredited RICS surveyors know the quirks of local housing stock, from damp in period cottages to structural movement in older sandstone properties. Instead of jargon, you’ll get a clear, practical report that tells you what’s sound, what needs attention, and what might cost you money down the line.
With our help, you can make your move in Chester with confidence that the home you’ve set your heart on is a safe and sensible investment.
Our clear reports make decision-making easier, giving you the facts in plain English. That way, you can budget confidently and decide whether to proceed, renegotiate, or walk away.
Our traffic light rating system lets you see at a glance what’s fine, what needs attention, and what could be costly in the future.
Green = Everything’s in good shape. No repairs needed, just routine maintenance.
Amber = Some repairs or replacements may be needed, but nothing urgent.
Red = Urgent action required. Delayed repairs could lead to further damage or pose a safety risk.
For those purchasing an older or heavily altered property, a Level 3 Building Survey is designed to uncover structural defects, highlight hidden issues, and provide repair recommendations with cost guidance.
Commonly requested for historic homes, Victorian terraces, or period cottages across the Chester region.
A clear, mid-level inspection for homes in reasonable condition, to provide a detailed but non-intrusive inspection of a home’s condition. Highlights visible defects, maintenance concerns, and legal issues. Does not include in-depth structural assessment.
An official, independent assessment of your property’s market value, compliant with RICS global standards. Essential for mortgage applications, probate, divorce settlements, and often requested for shared equity homes.
For building work on a shared wall or boundary, you may need a Party Wall Survey to comply with the Party Wall etc. Act 1996. Our party wall surveyors maintain your compliance with the law, helping prevent disputes and protect the interests of both parties. Particularly useful for extensions, loft conversions, or renovations in Chester’s densely built areas.
