Ruthin is a historic market town in the Vale of Clwyd, with a town centre of medieval timber framed buildings, Georgian town houses and Victorian shop fronts arranged around St Peter's Square. Much of the centre lies within a conservation area and many of its buildings are listed.
Timber framed and solid stone buildings call for an understanding of traditional construction, and we frequently advise on decay in concealed timbers, unsuitable cement repairs and the effects of modern alterations. We also inspect farmhouses, cottages and modern homes across the Vale of Clwyd, including properties around Denbigh, Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd and Llanbedr Dyffryn Clwyd.
For period and listed properties, our RICS Level 3 Building Survey gives a detailed account of construction, condition and appropriate repairs, while the RICS Level 2 Home Survey suits more modern, conventional homes. We also provide independent RICS valuations and specific defect reports.
Every report is written by the surveyor who inspected the property. We also cover Llangollen, Wrexham and Chester.

For timber framed, Georgian or listed properties we recommend a RICS Level 3 Building Survey. More modern homes in reasonable condition are usually suited to a RICS Level 2 Home Survey.
If the property is listed, consent is usually needed for works that affect its character. Our report highlights where consent is likely to be relevant so that you can raise it with the local planning authority before committing.
