Excellent Service

We have used CWH Surveyors on 5 occasions and would highly recommend our surveyor Victoria Bocock.
Victoria did all 5 surveys and saved us on 2 occasions from a house with extensive damp   problems and another with structural problems. The seller had gone to great lengths to hide the structural problems  but Victoria saw through this.
The reports are well written , very detailed and informative , often raising issues I would not have considered.
Victoria and all the staff are very professional and knowledgeable and will take the time over the phone to explain or discuss at length any aspects of the survey.
Would highly recommend . Thank you for all your help.

Absolutely fantastic company. I got recommended CWH surveyors from mundys estate agents and so glad I used them for my recent house survey and valuation report. Excellent communication from start to finish, David was brilliant at organising everything and keeping us informed. Phillip did our survey and answered any questions we had regarding our house purchase. He could not have been more helpful or knowledgable. Kelly and Liezl were great at sending over information and made everything easy to understand. Could not recommend more.

The team of Miles, the surveyor, and Liezl, the Head Administrator, went out of their way to assist me.
The level 3 survey was comprehensive, all emails and phone calls were answered/returned promptly during the course of the process.
Excellent service, competitive price, no complaints.
Tks to all

We had a level 2 survey carried out for an older property. The communication was good and the report received in a timely manner. Most impressive though was the detail in the report, it gave us exactly what was needed to make a decision on the property and demonstrated a thorough knowledge of building construction through different time periods. Recommended.

SURVEYOR SERVICES BIRMINGHAM

As established Chartered Surveyors specialising in residential property in Birmingham, and across the wider Birmingham area and neighbouring regions, we offer a variety of professional services to assist with your property transaction requirements.

RICS Home Surveys in Birmingham

Buying a house or flat is a major financial commitment; it may well be the biggest investment of your life. Our independent home surveys are designed to help you gain a clear understanding of the condition of the property you are about to purchase, so you can make an informed decision on how best to proceed. Industry figures through the years have repeatedly shown that having a comprehensive survey carried out can save you thousands of pounds in unexpected repair costs later on.

RICS Level 2 Survey (also known as a RICS Homebuyer Report)

An economical method of securing all the essential information you require. Results are presented in a standardised format using clear, accessible language that ensures you can easily comprehend any defects identified. From the roof to the property boundaries, we’ll conduct a site inspection to evaluate the overall condition of the building’s fabric. A Level 2 Survey is best suited to contemporary properties of conventional construction that are in a satisfactory state of repair.

RICS Level 3 Survey (also known as a RICS Building Survey)

An exceedingly detailed report based on a thorough internal and external inspection of all accessible areas to provide a detailed review of its construction and condition, as well as our recommendations for remedial action. A Level 3 Survey is particularly recommended for old properties (including listed buildings), large dwellings, non-traditional constructions and buildings that are in poor condition or have undergone substantial alterations.
If you are unsure which home survey is most appropriate for your property needs, please get in touch, and we will be pleased to advise. See our handy guide to help you choose the right survey.

RICS Property Valuations

As RICS Registered Valuers, CWH Surveyors are ideally qualified to provide independent valuations for residential properties in Birmingham and further afield. We regularly carry out expert valuations on behalf of private individuals and businesses for all kinds of purposes, from obtaining the current market value for a residential property as an asset to helping resolve disputes over a property’s value. We also provide:

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

Our valuers will assess the overall condition of the property, its size, construction and location. Using our knowledge and expertise of the local housing market and area, we will value the property within the context of comparable properties nearby, arriving at a robust figure that is accepted by many official bodies including HMRC.

Expert Witness Property Reports

Where a legal dispute has arisen between two parties, CWH Surveyors are routinely called upon to provide expert witness evidence to help resolve property valuation disputes. We have a wealth of experience in the preparation of Expert Witness Property Reports for all kinds of matters relating to residential properties, such as:

      • 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

Typically, our expert views are required in connection with court proceedings, alternative dispute resolutions, mediation and the like. We are extremely well practiced in preparing Expert Witness Property Reports for use in numerous situations and in full compliance with court rules.

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 client’s 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.
