Chartered Surveyors Leicestershire

Our surveyors cover Leicester, Loughborough, Market Harborough, Coalville and communities throughout Leicestershire, providing independent residential surveys and property valuations for homebuyers, property owners and professional clients.

Residential property across Leicestershire varies considerably, from traditional terraces and older town-centre homes to suburban housing, village properties and modern developments. The age, construction and condition of the individual property should therefore guide the level of survey you choose.

For a conventional property in reasonable condition, a Level 2 Home Survey may be appropriate. Where the property is older, larger, unusually constructed, significantly altered or in poorer condition, a Level 3 Home Survey will generally provide the greater level of detail required.

Our reports are prepared around the property being inspected rather than relying solely on standard wording. We clearly explain visible defects, areas of concern and where further investigation may be advisable, helping you make a more informed decision before proceeding with the purchase.

Fantastic experience. Phillip Chapman did my survey. Always answered any emails I sent and got the report back very quickly within a few days. The report is very detailed too. Highly recommended.

Initial reaction on reading the report was to pull out of the sale as I thought the house a complete lemon! On second reading I decided I needed to speak to the surveyor and I'm so pleased I did. He was really helpful in helping me focus on what I might find most relevant and putting some meat on the bones of some of his comments. He concluded that if the work was undertaken it would be a nice sound property. I used the report to help me renegotiate the price in order that the seller contributed to the things that were regular maintenance issues. I realise that things have to be brought to your attention to cover their backs, but the report made for very scary reading, I'm glad I didn't go with my gut reaction as I'm now looking forward to getting into the property and doing some work to make it my forever home.

Fantastic service from Richard at CWH Surveyors! Not only was the survey comprehensive, but he also took the time for an in-depth post-survey call to explain the findings. He even highlighted specific areas to draw our solicitor's attention to. Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I instruct a surveyor?

A surveyor can be instructed at any point throughout the purchase process. We would encourage clients not to leave it to the last minute, to allow time for any further investigations to be carried out.

What type of surveys are there?

We conduct the RICS two main levels of survey, Level 2 Home Survey and Level 3 Building Survey.

Isn’t a survey carried out by my lender?

There is often a misconception in this regard. Where mortgage finance is involved, the lender will appoint a surveyor to carry out a valuation of the property to ensure it is suitable security for lending and is worth what is being paid for it. This is principally to protect the bank and in some instances it may take the form of a desktop valuation. It will not provide the buyer with a detailed assessment of the property’s condition.

Do I have to arrange the inspection appointment?

Our experienced administrators will make all the necessary arrangements for the surveyor to inspect the property. This will include liaising with the estate agent and seller to reduce stress on our clients behalf.

How long does a survey inspection take?

Inspections typically take between 2 and 4 hours dependent on the age, size and condition of the property, as well as the type of survey. We will spend sufficient time on site to ensure a detailed and thorough report is produced.

How do I instruct a surveyor?

To discuss your survey requirements, please feel free to contact us here.

How quickly will I receive my report?

Following the survey inspection, the completed report is issued within 4-7 working days, allowing time for reflection on our findings and ensuring the report is accurate.

What are the benefits of a survey?

Our survey is designed to provide a buyer with a comprehensive overview of the condition of the property they are purchasing and allowing them to make an informed decision. It is there to assist with the decision making process so that they can proceed to purchase in confidence. Where issues do exist, it will identity the issues and provide context regarding the urgency of repairs to ensure that any significant defects can be costed before committing to purchase.
