Telford grew from the 1960s onwards around older settlements such as Wellington, Madeley, Dawley and Oakengates, and its housing reflects this mix. Large estates of 1960s, 1970s and 1980s housing sit alongside Victorian terraces in the older town centres and the historic buildings of the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site.
Some estate housing from this period is of non traditional or system built construction, which can affect mortgage lending and future repair costs, so identifying the form of construction is an important part of our inspection. The area also has a long history of coal and ironstone mining, and we will advise where a mining search or further investigation is recommended. In Ironbridge and Coalbrookdale, steep ground, known ground stability issues and the age of the buildings call for a more detailed survey.
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 commercial surveys.
Every report is written by the surveyor who inspected the property. We also cover Shrewsbury and Market Drayton.
Some housing built in Telford from the 1960s onwards used concrete panels, timber or steel frames rather than conventional brick and block. Certain types can be difficult to mortgage or may need structural repair, so we identify the form of construction during the inspection and explain the implications.
The area has a long history of coal and ironstone mining. Your conveyancer will normally obtain a Coal Authority mining report, and we recommend further investigation where we see evidence of movement that may be related to past workings.
Yes. Steep ground, known ground stability issues and the age of many buildings mean we usually recommend a RICS Level 3 Building Survey for properties in the Gorge.
A RICS Level 2 Home Survey is usually suitable for conventional modern homes in reasonable condition. Where a house is of non traditional construction or has been extended or altered, a Level 3 Building Survey may be more appropriate.
