LISTED BUILDING SURVEYS

Our Listed Building Surveys provide a detailed and comprehensive report of a building that is listed as either Grade II, Grade II* or Grade I. These are buildings of architectural or historic interest and many will date back to the 1700’s or even earlier, our eldest so far was built circa 1440!

Our Listed Building Surveys are carried out by a Chartered Surveyor/Registered Building Conservation professional. The survey provides specific information on the building’s condition, historic elements and is in-line with the RICS Level 3 Building Survey standard.

David Clare, Chartered Surveyor, warns:

A general misconception is that Grade 2 listed buildings are only listed on the external facade. It is important to know that, in most cases, a listing protects all of the building’s interior and exterior. This includes any structures attached to the building or within its curtilage.

What is included in a Listed Building Survey?

  • The surveyor will examine any changes made to the building, comparing these against the listing for discrepancies
  • Assessment of any changes made to the property over time
  • The report will provide a full description and advice on any defects found
  • Outline of repair options in line with planning requirements, plus consequences of inaction
  • Consider future maintenance options
  • Thermal imaging survey to identify any damp, trapped moisture or thermal inefficiencies
  • A High-level inspection of the roof structure, chimneys and rainwater goods using a telescopic pole camera or a drone (weather and restriction dependant)
  • Detailed report with recommendations within 5-10 working days of inspection
