IS THIS SURVEY RIGHT FOR YOUR CHESTER PROPERTY?

A RICS Level 3 Building Survey is often the best option if you are buying an older or character property in Chester, such as a Victorian terrace, a Georgian townhouse, or a home that has undergone extensions or structural alterations. The survey provides an in-depth inspection of the building’s construction and condition, with detailed commentary on defects, repair needs and potential risks.

ABOUT CHESTER

Chester is a city defined by its heritage, with historic streets, Georgian townhouses and Victorian suburbs forming a large proportion of its residential housing. Areas such as Handbridge, Hoole and the city centre contain many older properties where age-related issues such as damp, timber decay, movement and altered layouts are more common.

As a major regional centre with ongoing development, Chester also includes many buildings that have been renovated or extended over decades. For buyers purchasing character homes or properties close to the historic core, a detailed building survey provides essential insight into structural integrity, repair priorities and risks linked to traditional construction.
