Market Drayton is a market town in north east Shropshire, much of which was rebuilt after a fire in 1651. As a result the centre has a notable group of timber framed buildings alongside Georgian and Victorian brick frontages, with modern estates on the edges of the town and the Shropshire Union Canal close by.
Timber framed properties need careful inspection for decay, distortion and the effects of later infill panels, renders and alterations. We also survey farmhouses, cottages and converted buildings in surrounding villages such as Hodnet, Cheswardine, Woore and Hinstock, where outbuildings and private drainage often form part of the inspection.
We carry out RICS Level 2 Home Surveys for conventional houses in reasonable condition and RICS Level 3 Building Surveys for older, larger or altered properties. Our independent valuations are used for probate, tax and matrimonial purposes, and we also prepare specific defect reports.
Every report is written by the surveyor who inspected the property. We also cover Whitchurch, Telford and Shrewsbury.
The main concerns are decay at the base of the frame, distortion, the condition of the infill panels and the effect of later renders or cement repairs that trap moisture. We assess these in detail as part of a RICS Level 3 Building Survey.
For timber framed, Georgian or altered properties we recommend a RICS Level 3 Building Survey. Modern homes in reasonable condition are usually suited to a RICS Level 2 Home Survey.
Yes. Traditional and listed construction is a specialism of the practice, and we highlight where listed building consent is likely to be needed.
