Our Survey Services

Choose the right survey for your property — we’ll guide you every step of the way

RICS Level 2 Survey

The RICS Level 2 HomeBuyers Report is the most popular survey for modern properties in reasonable condition. Ideal if the property was built after 1930 and appears well maintained. Uses a clear traffic light rating system to highlight any defects.

RICS Level 3 Building Survey

The RICS Level 3 Building Survey is our most comprehensive survey, recommended for older, larger or unusual properties. Ideal for stone cottages, Victorian terraces, farmhouses and any property showing signs of defects or structural issues.

Specific Defect Survey

Concerned about a particular issue — damp, cracking, subsidence or a roof problem? We investigate the specific defect, identify the cause and give you clear advice on what to do next.

Snagging Survey

Buying a new build? Don’t assume it’s perfect. We carry out a thorough inspection before or after completion and provide a detailed snagging list for your developer to address.

Client reviews

What our clients say

From the very first contact, the service was excellent. The survey was booked quickly and completed within days. The report was thorough, detailed and clearly tailored to the property. What really stood out was the follow-up — taking the time to meet in person to go through the findings was incredibly valuable. I also appreciated the estimated costs for repairs and guidance on timeframes. A highly professional, knowledgeable and responsive service. Great value for money and I would not hesitate to recommend.

I recently purchased a property and used Gawthorpe & Co for the survey. Mike was brilliant from my initial enquiry right through to delivering the report. The level of detail was excellent, and he clearly explained what I should genuinely be concerned about versus what is normal for a property of this type. He was extremely engaging, approachable, and made himself available to answer any questions I had. A thoroughly professional service from start to finish, highly recommended.

After speaking to Michael about the upcoming purchase of a longed for property I felt an extreme relief to have everything explained to me in such great and understanding detail. Michael explained all the process of our impending survey which in itself is mind blowing. I will not hesitate a second in using his services for our survey. Such a service offered where the buyer has all points covered and fully explained is a great thing.

I came for advice on some properties I have been looking at. Michael gave great advice and we will be using him again in the future when I do purchase.

Having worked with Michael on numerous occasions I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company!
