Ellesmere is a small market town beside the Mere, with the Llangollen Canal running along its edge. The town centre retains many Georgian and earlier buildings, a number of them listed, alongside Victorian terraces and more recent housing on the approaches to the town. It is a short drive from our Oswestry office, so we can usually offer an inspection date quickly.
Many properties in and around Ellesmere are of solid wall construction and have been altered over the years, and listed building consent is often relevant to repairs and improvements. Outside the town we survey farmhouses, cottages and barn conversions in villages including Welshampton, Dudleston Heath, Cockshutt and Tetchill, where outbuildings and private drainage often need careful consideration.
For the older and altered properties common around Ellesmere, our RICS Level 3 Building Survey gives the depth of advice needed, while the RICS Level 2 Home Survey suits more modern, conventional homes. We also provide independent RICS valuations, specific defect reports and drone roof inspections.
Every report is written by the surveyor who inspected the property. We also cover Oswestry, Whitchurch, Wrexham and Shrewsbury.
If the property is listed, consent is usually needed for works that affect its character, which can include some repairs, replacement windows and internal alterations. Our report highlights where consent is likely to be relevant so that you can discuss it with the local planning authority before committing.
We note the type of private drainage where it can be identified and report on what is visible, but drainage is not tested as part of a RICS survey. Where a property relies on a septic tank or treatment plant, we recommend a specialist inspection and confirmation that it meets current regulations.
For older, altered or listed properties, and most rural homes, we recommend a RICS Level 3 Building Survey. Modern homes in reasonable condition are usually suited to a RICS Level 2 Home Survey.
We cover the surrounding countryside, including Welshampton, Dudleston Heath, Cockshutt and Tetchill.
