Nova Surveyors Limited

Protecting Your Investment Across the South West

Buying a property in Devon, Cornwall, or Dorset requires more than just a standard checklist. We provide the deep-dive technical analysis needed to navigate the unique challenges of West Country architecture, from coastal exposures to traditional cob and stone constructions.

Whether you are a first-time buyer, a commercial investor, or a landlord, we ensure you move forward with clarity. Our RICS-accredited reports are designed to be evidence-based, practical, and easy to understand.

Specialists in Heritage and Listed Buildings

Traditional buildings require a different language. We don't just "survey" historic properties; we understand their breathability, their construction methods, and their soul. We provide the specialist oversight needed to maintain the integrity of heritage assets while ensuring they remain fit for modern use.

• Detailed Heritage Surveys: Deep analysis of historic fabric.
• Conservation Management: Strategic plans for long-term preservation.
• Restoration Specifications: Practical, sympathetic solutions for repairs.
• Authority Liaison: We collaborate with conservation authorities to help your project succeed.

Advanced Diagnostics: Damp, Mould, and Drones

We move beyond visual inspections. By using non-invasive moisture diagnostics and environmental monitoring packages, we find the root cause of damp issues rather than just treating the symptoms. This is essential for landlords and tenants looking for long-term resolutions to housing standard issues.

"We provide evidence-based reports that offer practical, actionable solutions for homeowners, landlords, and tenants alike."

For those hard-to-reach areas—like high chimney stacks or complex roof valleys—our Drone Surveys provide high-resolution data without the need for expensive scaffolding, saving you time and money during the due diligence process.
