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!

SURVEYOR SERVICES LINCOLNSHIRE

At CWH Surveyors, we specialise in residential surveys for homes in Grantham, Boston, Lincoln and all across Lincolnshire. Our Chartered Surveyors and Valuers provide a wealth of professional services designed to assist you with your next property transaction.

RICS Home Surveys

When you’re in the process of buying a house or flat, it’s vital to be able to make an informed decision, given the substantial financial commitment involved. Our independent home surveys provide a clear understanding of the property’s condition, giving you confidence in your decision. Industry data consistently show that having a professional home survey can save you thousands of pounds in unexpected repair costs after you take ownership.

We offer two types of RICS Home Surveys:

RICS Level 2 Survey (aka RICS Homebuyer Report)

This cost-effective option gives you all the essential information you need. The survey findings are presented in an easy-to-understand format in plain English. Our surveyor will inspect the property, assessing its general condition from the chimney pots to the boundaries. A Level 2 Survey is suitable for modern standard properties in reasonable repair.

RICS Level 3 Survey (aka RICS Building Survey)

This highly detailed survey involves an extensive inspection of all accessible areas, delivering a comprehensive assessment of the property’s construction and condition, along with our recommendations for repair and upkeep. A Level 3 Survey is most suited to old buildings, large dwellings, non-standard constructions and properties in poor condition.

For advice to help you choose the right survey for your property needs, there’s a handy guide to read and download here. Of course, you are most welcome to contact us for professional advice and guidance.

RICS Property Valuations

As RICS Registered Valuers, we are qualified to provide independent valuations for residential properties in Lincolnshire and further afield. Our expertise covers a wide variety of purposes including determining market value, resolving disputes, and assisting with financial matters such as:

  • Probate and inheritance tax
  • Divorce and matrimonial matters
  • Accounting valuations for business development or reduction
  • Private treaty purchases and private sales
  • Equity purchases, Right to Buy and Help to Buy valuations

Our valuations consider factors such as the property’s condition, size, construction and location. With our knowledge of the local housing market, we provide robust valuations based on comparable properties in the area, which are widely accepted by official bodies such as HMRC.

Expert Witness Property Reports

In cases of legal disputes, we are often called upon to provide expert witness evidence to help find resolutions to property valuation disagreements. With extensive experience in preparing Expert Witness Property Reports, we cover a range of residential property matters, including:

  • Family and matrimonial disputes
  • Building surveys, building defects and professional negligence
  • Rental valuations and housing disrepair
  • Dilapidations and landlord & tenant compensation
  • Capital valuation disputes
  • Business disputes

CWH Surveyors are typically consulted for our professional input into court proceedings, alternative dispute resolutions, mediations and similar formal situations. Our Expert Witness Property Reports adhere to all court rules and regulations as required.

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.
