Cheshire property

Every property deserves a considered inspection.

Cheshire homes range from older terraces and cottages to suburban houses, bungalows, apartments, converted properties and new developments. The survey level is selected for the individual building, taking its age, construction, alterations, condition and complexity into account.

Visible cracking, dampness, ventilation, roof condition, previous extensions and external finishes may warrant attention depending on the building. We explain significant findings in a straightforward report that reflects the agreed RICS inspection scope.

  • Roof coverings, chimneys and rainwater goods
  • External walls, pointing and render
  • Dampness, ventilation and visible timber condition
  • Cracking, movement and previous alterations
  • Windows, doors and external joinery
  • Roof space and accessible internal construction
  • Visible service installations within the survey scope
  • Grounds, garages and outbuildings where applicable

That depends on the construction, age, condition and complexity of the property and the alterations. We can advise on an appropriate survey level before booking.
