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 SHROPSHIRE

As highly regarded Chartered Surveyors serving Shropshire and its adjacent regions, we offer specialist expertise in residential property matters alongside an extensive portfolio of professional services designed to facilitate your property transactions.

RICS Home Surveys

Property acquisition represents a substantial financial commitment—potentially the most significant investment one undertakes. Our independent Shropshire surveys are crafted to deliver precise insights into a property’s condition, facilitating informed decision-making. Statistical evidence consistently demonstrates that comprehensive surveys prove instrumental in preventing unforeseen maintenance costs.

This survey presents a cost-effective means of obtaining crucial property information. Our findings are documented within a standardised format, utilising clear terminology to detail any identified defects. The inspection encompasses all aspects from the roof structure to boundary demarcation. This survey is particularly suited to contemporary properties of conventional construction maintaining satisfactory condition.

This comprehensive assessment delivers a detailed analysis derived from a thorough examination of accessible internal and external areas, presenting extensive structural evaluation accompanied by remedial recommendations.

This survey is particularly advantageous for period properties within Shropshire, including listed buildings, substantial residences, non-standard constructions, and properties requiring significant refurbishment or those having undergone extensive modification.

As certified RICS Registered Valuers, we deliver authoritative independent valuations across Shropshire’s residential sector. Our valuation services encompass:

  • Private treaty transactions
  • Probate and inheritance tax assessments
  • Matrimonial proceedings
  • Corporate accounting valuations
  • Statutory purchase schemes

Our methodology incorporates a thorough analysis of structural conditions, spatial dimensions, construction methods and geographical context. Drawing upon extensive regional market knowledge, we determine values through rigorous comparative analysis, producing robust valuations recognised by statutory bodies including HMRC.

Our expert consultancy services are regularly commissioned for judicial proceedings, alternative dispute resolution protocols and mediation sessions in Shropshire. Our expertise extends to:

  • Matrimonial property matters
  • Building defects and professional negligence
  • Residential tenancy disputes
  • Dilapidations assessments
  • Capital valuation controversies
  • Commercial disagreements

We maintain exceptional proficiency in the preparation of Expert Witness Property Reports across diverse circumstances, whilst strictly observing court procedural requirements.

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?

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.
