Buying a property can be one of the largest financial commitments most people will make. We aim to provide clear, practical advice throughout the process, helping you understand the condition of the property, the significance of any defects identified and the likely implications before you become legally committed to the purchase.
Unlike some national providers, we aim to offer a more personal and responsive service. We take the time to understand your concerns, explain our findings clearly and remain available after the report has been issued should you wish to discuss the results.
As an RICS regulated firm, our surveys are carried out in accordance with recognised professional standards, providing confidence that the advice is independent, objective and focused on helping you make an informed decision.
Choose the right level of survey based on the property age, construction, condition and complexity.
Often suitable for conventional residential property that appears to be in reasonable condition.
More detailed advice for older, altered, extended, larger or more complex residential property.
Roof and high level external checks using drone support where suitable, safe and weather permitting.
A Cheltenham home survey can help identify roof defects, dampness, drainage issues, cracking, safety risks, poor workmanship, ageing services and legal matters that your conveyancer may need to check.
The aim is to give you practical advice, not unnecessary alarm, so you can make a clear decision before purchase.
Cheltenham's varied property stock means survey choice is important, particularly where properties are older, altered, extended or located within conservation areas.

Blocked valleys, defective flashings, poor repairs and failing roof details can allow water into the structure below.
Moisture can affect hidden timbers beneath flat roofs and altered areas.
Open gaps and incomplete walls may affect fire separation and require further advice.
Poor drainage, leaking rainwater goods and dampness can affect older and altered properties.
Open mortar joints, deteriorated flaunching and weathering to chimney stacks can lead to water penetration and may require repair.
Cheltenham has a broad mix of property types, including Regency terraces and apartments in Montpellier and Pittville, substantial Victorian and Edwardian villas, 1930s family housing, modern developments around Bishops Cleeve and nearby village property.
Cheltenham property can involve ageing roof structures, historic alterations, irregular floors, long repair histories and more sensitive building fabric.
Conservation area, listed building and historic fabric issues can affect repairs, replacement windows, roofing materials, damp treatment and future alterations.
Altered homes and converted apartments can require closer review of structure, fire separation, ventilation, dampness and evidence of approvals.
Heating, electrical, plumbing and drainage installations can have a significant effect on future costs, safety and legal enquiries.
Clear advice, practical reports and support after the inspection.
We had a survey done in Worcester by Severn Surveyors. The surveyor identified issues we had not even picked up on, including poor support to the extension floors which needed repairs. Becky was very helpful and kept us informed the whole way through the process. The drone footage was great.
We used Severn Surveyors for a Level 3 survey and were really impressed. The report was clear and picked up issues we would not have noticed, including roof defects we were able to raise with the seller. The surveyor gave us a call afterwards to talk it through.
They were professional, detailed, prompt and very responsive to all questions we had. The property inspection was very helpful and communicated with clarity throughout the process. I highly recommend them.
