Surveys & Valuations

RICS regulated building surveyors and registered valuers providing independent advice on homes and commercial property in Welshpool and across Montgomeryshire.

Building Surveyors & Valuers in Welshpool

Welshpool is a busy market town in the Severn valley, around half an hour from our Oswestry office. The town centre conservation area contains a mix of Georgian and Victorian brick frontages along Broad Street and Severn Street, with earlier timber framed buildings behind many of them. Away from the centre, Victorian terraces, interwar housing and more recent estates make up much of the housing stock.

Parts of the town lie close to the River Severn and the Montgomery Canal, and we pay particular attention to ground levels, drainage and flood history when inspecting property in these areas. In the surrounding countryside we regularly survey farmhouses, rural cottages and converted agricultural buildings in villages such as Guilsfield, Berriew, Four Crosses and Llanfair Caereinion.

For the older and altered properties common in and around Welshpool, 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, which are particularly useful for tall town houses and farm buildings.

Every report is written by the surveyor who inspected the property. We also cover Newtown, Oswestry, Shrewsbury and Llangollen.

Every report is written for you
We pride ourselves on providing our clients with well-written, quality reports. Unlike many larger surveying firms, every one of our reports is bespoke to each client. You won't find any copy-and-paste jargon here.

Questions about surveys in Welshpool

Which survey do I need for a property in Welshpool?

Many properties in the town centre are Georgian or Victorian, often with earlier timber framing behind, and for these we recommend a RICS Level 3 Building Survey. More recent homes in reasonable condition are usually suited to a RICS Level 2 Home Survey.

Do you consider flood risk near the Severn and the canal?

Yes. We look for evidence of past flooding, dampness linked to high ground levels and poor drainage, and recommend that you review the flood risk information provided by your conveyancer.

Do you survey farms and rural properties in Montgomeryshire?

Yes. We regularly inspect farmhouses, cottages and converted agricultural buildings around Guilsfield, Berriew, Four Crosses and Llanfair Caereinion, including outbuildings and private drainage where they form part of the property.

Can you inspect high roofs and chimneys without scaffolding?

Yes. Our drone inspections allow tall roofs, chimneys and upper elevations to be photographed in detail, which is particularly helpful on town centre properties and large farm buildings.
