Chartered Surveyors Coventry

CWH Surveyors provides independent RICS Home Surveys and property valuations throughout Coventry and the surrounding area.

Coventry has a varied residential property market, including traditional terraces, period homes, established suburban housing, flats, converted properties and modern developments. The city also contains numerous conservation areas and historic neighbourhoods, meaning the age, construction, previous alterations and condition of a property can all influence the level of survey that is appropriate. Coventry City Council

A Level 2 Home Survey is generally suited to a conventional property that appears to be in reasonable condition. For an older, significantly altered, unusual or visibly defective property, a Level 3 Home Survey usually provides the greater level of detail required.

Our surveyors assess the individual property rather than relying solely on standard wording, giving you clear advice on significant defects, repair concerns and matters that may warrant further investigation.

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.

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.

What Affects the Cost of Your Survey?

Every property is different, which means the cost of a survey depends on the property itself and the level of advice you need. Factors such as the size, age, location and condition of the property can all influence the level of inspection and detail required.

Before you instruct us, we will confirm your quotation in writing so you understand exactly what is included. Our fees reflect the time, expertise and professional advice required to provide a survey tailored to your property.

What can affect your quotation?

Property size
Larger properties may require more time to inspect and report on.

Age and condition
Older properties or those with defects may require a more detailed assessment.

Property type
Listed buildings, extensions, flats and unusual construction methods may affect the survey requirements.

Survey level required
A Level 2 Home Survey and Level 3 Building Survey provide different levels of detail depending on the property.

Additional requirements
Valuations or other specialist advice may affect the scope of work required.

 

What is included in your survey

Inspection by an RICS Chartered Surveyor
Professional advice from an experienced surveyor with knowledge of property condition and defects.

A report tailored to your property
Your report is prepared specifically for the property being inspected, rather than providing generic advice.

Clear explanations and photographs
Where appropriate, photographs and explanations help you understand any issues identified.

Practical advice on next steps
Helping you understand defects, repairs and any further action to consider.

Confirmation before instruction
Your agreed quotation will be confirmed clearly before any work begins.

Property survey quotations can vary because the scope of the inspection, level of reporting and support provided may differ between surveyors. When comparing quotes, it’s important to understand what is included rather than focusing on price alone.

At CWH Surveyors, we prepare bespoke reports tailored to the individual property, helping buyers understand significant defects, potential repair concerns and any further investigations that may be required. Our aim is to provide clear, practical information that supports a confident purchase decision.
