Newtown is the largest town in Powys and grew rapidly in the nineteenth century around the woollen and flannel trade, which left a legacy of Victorian brick terraces and former weaving buildings. The town expanded again from the late 1960s, and much of its housing dates from that period onwards.
Parts of the town lie on the floodplain of the River Severn, and we consider flood history, ground levels and drainage carefully when inspecting property in these areas. Older terraces, post war estate housing and modern homes are often found close together, each with its own typical defects. We also inspect rural properties around Llanidloes, Kerry, Tregynon and Berriew.
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. 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 Welshpool, Shrewsbury and Oswestry.

Older terraces have often been altered over many years, so we usually recommend a RICS Level 3 Building Survey. A RICS Level 2 Home Survey is often suitable for more modern, conventional homes in reasonable condition.
