Specialists in Historic and Listed Buildings

East Anglia is home to a wealth of unique architecture, from timber-framed cottages to grand listed estates. We specialise in the nuances of historic building techniques, ensuring that older properties are surveyed with the specific care and knowledge they require.

Whether you are buying a new-build or a centuries-old home, our Level 2 and Level 3 RICS surveys are designed to be comprehensive. We include extensive photography and detailed descriptions so you can see exactly what we see.

Expert Defect Diagnosis and Remedial Advice

If you are concerned about a specific issue in your current home or a potential purchase, we provide targeted defect diagnosis. We don't just identify the symptom; we find the cause and suggest the right measures to fix it. We have a wealth of experience in analysing:

  • Structural issues: Subsidence and significant cracking
  • Moisture problems: Damp walls and damaged pipes
  • Roofing & Timber: Broken tiles, timber decay, and woodworm
  • Maintenance: Damaged boilers and electrical safety concerns

"Our mission is to provide sensible, high-quality property advice that minimises your risk and gives you total peace of mind before you commit to a purchase."

A Personal Service Tailored to You

We pride ourselves on being a friendly, independent firm. Every report we produce is individually tailored to your specific needs and the unique characteristics of the property. Once you've read your report, we are always available to discuss the findings in detail, ensuring you have all the information needed to negotiate a fair price or plan your future refurbishments.
