Whitchurch
Surveys & Valuations

RICS regulated building surveyors and registered valuers providing independent advice on homes and commercial property in Whitchurch and north Shropshire.

Building Surveyors & Valuers in Whitchurch

Whitchurch is one of the oldest towns in Shropshire, with a long High Street lined with Georgian brick frontages, many of which conceal much earlier timber framed buildings behind. Around the centre are Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas, with post war and modern housing on the outskirts of the town.

Older buildings in the conservation area often have a long history of alteration, and it is common to find timber frames hidden behind later brickwork, roof structures that have been altered or overloaded, and dampness linked to raised ground levels or impermeable finishes. In the surrounding area we regularly inspect farmhouses and cottages in villages such as Prees, Tilstock, Whixall and Ash, and across the county boundary towards Malpas.

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 and commercial surveys for business owners and landlords.

Every report is written by the surveyor who inspected the property. We also cover Ellesmere, Market Drayton, Wrexham and Chester.

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 Whitchurch

Can a Georgian frontage hide an older building?

Yes. Many High Street properties in Whitchurch have Georgian brick fronts added to much earlier timber framed buildings. Our inspection looks for evidence of the original structure, as concealed timbers and later alterations often affect condition and future repairs.

Which survey do I need in Whitchurch?

For older, altered or listed properties we recommend a RICS Level 3 Building Survey. Modern homes in reasonable condition on the edges of the town are usually suited to a RICS Level 2 Home Survey.

Do you survey listed buildings in Whitchurch?

Yes. Traditional and listed construction is a specialism of the practice, and we highlight where listed building consent is likely to be needed for repairs or alterations.

Do you cover the villages around Whitchurch?

Yes, including Prees, Tilstock, Whixall and Ash, and properties across the county boundary towards Malpas.
