Led by James Horner with over 20 years of experience, we are independent West Yorkshire specialists in building surveys and valuations. From listed buildings to construction monitoring, we provide the unbiased, expert insight you need to buy or build with confidence.
At David G Horner, we believe that every property purchase should be made with both your heart and your head. Our mission is simple: to provide the clarity and professional insight you need to make better-informed property decisions.
As a family-run firm with deep roots in Ossett, our legacy dates back to 1965 when David Horner first qualified. Today, led by James Horner, we combine that decades-long heritage with modern expertise to serve homeowners and investors across the whole of West Yorkshire.
"If in Doubt – Check it Out"
This is more than just our motto; it is the foundation of our approach. We specialise in comprehensive Building Surveys (often called Structural Surveys), which are the most detailed reports available.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all reporting. Our surveys are tailor-made to the specific property, featuring detailed photography and clear, jargon-free advice. We are particularly sought after for:
- Older and Period Properties: Navigating the unique challenges of traditional construction.
- Listed Buildings: Ensuring conservation requirements are understood.
- Unusual Conversions: Identifying the hidden risks in non-standard homes.
- Large Individual Residences: Providing the depth of detail these investments deserve.
Why Our Independence is Your Advantage
Unlike many larger firms, we are truly independent. We have no financial ties to estate agents or mortgage lenders, meaning our views are never skewed by external business relationships. When you hire us, we work exclusively for you.
Our reports are neutral, agile, and responsive. Because we are a small, specialist team, we can often move faster than larger corporate entities, providing the swift turnaround often required in the West Yorkshire property market.
Expert Valuations and Legal Support
Beyond surveys, we are RICS Registered Valuers with an unrivaled knowledge of local construction techniques and market values. Whether you are buying a home, settling an estate, or require professional documentation for legal proceedings, we provide accuracy you can trust.
