Expertise in Historic Building Surveys

Historic buildings possess unique charms and character, but they also come with their own set of challenges. Our senior surveyor, David Clare, is a Fellow (FRICS) of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and a CIOB-registered building conservation surveyor. His extensive experience and specialised knowledge ensure that our surveys are thorough, accurate, and tailored to the specific needs of historic properties.

Comprehensive Pre-Purchase Home Surveys

Our pre-purchase home surveys cover a wide range of historic buildings, including:

• Listed Buildings: These properties are of significant historical or architectural interest. We assess their condition, identify any necessary repairs or maintenance, and ensure compliance with conservation requirements.
• Conversion Buildings: Converted properties, such as old barns, churches, schools, water towers, railway stations, pubs, windmills or industrial buildings, often hide issues beneath their refurbished exteriors. We scrutinise these conversions to uncover any potential problems.
• Thatched Buildings: Thatched roofs require specialist knowledge to assess properly. We examine the condition of the thatch, as well as the overall structural integrity of the building.

We proudly offer our historic building pre-purchase surveying services across all towns and villages in Somerset, Devon, Dorset, and Bristol (other areas by request):

• Somerset: From the picturesque city of Bath, known for its Georgian architecture, to the historic towns of Taunton, Glastonbury, and Wells, our surveys provide the insights needed to invest wisely.
• Devon: Covering vibrant Exeter, the maritime city of Plymouth, and charming towns like Torquay and Barnstaple, we help clients navigate the nuances of Devon’s historic properties.
• Dorset: Our services extend to the coastal town of Weymouth, the historic market town of Dorchester, and the popular seaside resort of Bournemouth, among others.
