Chester has one of the richest historic townscapes in the country, from the medieval Rows and the city walls to the black and white revival buildings of the nineteenth century. Beyond the centre are large areas of Victorian and Edwardian terraced and semi detached housing in districts such as Hoole, Handbridge and Boughton, with interwar and modern housing further out.
Many properties within the city are listed or lie within conservation areas, and repairs often need to respect original materials and detailing. Issues we commonly report on include defective rainwater goods, decayed timber in bay windows and joinery, failed renders and dampness linked to modern alterations. Properties close to the River Dee may also call for closer consideration of flood risk.
We carry out RICS Level 2 Home Surveys for conventional houses in reasonable condition and RICS Level 3 Building Surveys for period, listed or altered properties. Our independent valuations are used for probate, tax and matrimonial purposes, and we also prepare specific defect reports and commercial surveys for landlords and occupiers.
Every report is written by the surveyor who inspected the property. We also cover Wrexham, Ruthin and Whitchurch.

We often find worn roof coverings, defective rainwater goods, decayed timber in bay and sash windows, and dampness linked to blocked air vents, raised ground levels or modern renders. Many of these are straightforward to put right if they are identified early.
Yes. We look for evidence of past flooding and any flood resilience measures, and recommend that you review the flood risk information obtained by your conveyancer.
For period, listed or altered properties we recommend a RICS Level 3 Building Survey. A RICS Level 2 Home Survey is usually suitable for more modern, conventional homes in reasonable condition.
