Stramongate House, 53 Stramongate, Kendal, Cumbria, LA9 4BH, Kendal
With 20 years of experience in the Lake District and Cumbria, we provide clear, plain-English RICS surveys and valuations. As members of the 'Buy With Confidence' scheme, 90% of our work comes from personal recommendations, ensuring you make an informed choice prior to purchase.
Two Decades of Expertise in the Lake District
We have lived and worked in the Kendal area for over 20 years. Led by Danny Willis, our team provides independent, impartial advice across South Cumbria, North Lancashire, and North Yorkshire. We understand the unique challenges of properties in this region, from traditional Lakeland stone cottages to modern developments.
Why 90% of Our Work Comes from Recommendations
We don't believe in "stiff" corporate reporting. Our goal is to provide you with the information you need in plain English, helping you make an informed choice before you purchase. We are proud members of the Cumbria County Council Trading Standards "Buy With Confidence" initiative, meaning we have been vetted and approved to ensure we operate in a legal, honest, and fair way.
"Giving you peace of mind, prior to purchasing."

Beyond the Standard Survey: Building Pathology
If you have a specific concern about a property defect—such as damp, cracking, or structural movement—we offer a specialist Building Pathology service. We don't just spot the problem; we provide a diagnosis and prognosis, analyzing the symptoms and potential causes to find the right remedy. This service is designed to give you a clear path forward for repairs.
Choosing the Right Report for Your Move
We always recommend the survey most appropriate to the age and type of property you are buying:
- RICS Building Survey: Our most detailed report, essential for properties over 70 years old or those of unusual construction.
- RICS HomeBuyer Report & Valuation: The most popular choice, providing a thorough inspection plus an independent valuation.
- RICS Condition Report: A focused inspection for those who already have a mortgage valuation but want a professional look at the building fabric.
- Private Valuations: Tailored reports for Probate, Matrimonial, or Capital Gains Tax purposes.
Our small, dedicated team—including Danny and his PA, Emma Middleton—is here to ensure your property journey is supported by expert local knowledge and friendly, efficient service.
