With over 20 years’ experience surveying all property types in the local area, from blocks of flats and industrial units to large country manor houses, our experienced surveying team serve to provide clients with all the information they need when considering a property for purchase.

Gowers Surveyors offer a variety of services, including Building Surveys. Providing advice to both residential and commercial clients, tenants and landlords alike, we offer expert advice on Energy Performance Certificates, Commercial Property Leases and help clients to determine which type of survey would best suit their potential property. We offer a service to suit your specific requirements.

Party Wall Matters

Gowers Surveyors offer professional advice and assistance to both residential and commercial property owners considering extensions to their property. The Party Wall Act of 1996 has made it a requirement that all property owners planning on altering or building onto their property in a manner that cuts into a party wall must serve notice to the adjoining owner. This also applies to new builds that incorporate a party wall.

By providing advice as to whether our clients will need a ‘Party Wall Award’ we are then able to draw up all the necessary Party Wall Notices in order ensure that both the interests of the building owner and the adjoining owner are protected under the Party Wall Act 1996. Advice is essential in these cases as the drawing up of the act can be a long, complicated and expensive process. If you were to act without professional assistance you may be subject to unnecessary expense and liability, which is far less likely to occur with the professional assistance of the experienced team at Gowers Surveyors.

Having used Paul's services for a survey on our upcoming listed building purchase I can assure you that you will get the most thorough, professional and helpful service that you could wish for. The report tallied over 100 pages covering all aspects of the house, walls, frames, windows, roof space, drainage, outbuildings, render, roof tiles, water tanks, electrics, insulation, listed building consent, health and safety and much more. Not only that but Paul's report also told us how to best maintain the house going forwards, using what materials and how often things need doing. This was most definitely worth every penny and has allowed us to make an informed decision on the purchase going forwards. A+ rating from me!

I have just had a Survey completed by Gowers of Stamford. I have to say that the team there are superb. From the first contact with Catherine who was courteous, professional and helpful and who also arranged everything. To the surveyor Paul who was marvellous, the report was clear and well presented and easy to understand. Paul was extremely helpful and prepared to spend time discussing all the sections and any issues i had.He was very professional and a pleasure to deal with. I don’t normally do revues but felt compelled on this occasion because they deserve enormous praise and i would thoroughly recommend them.

I needed a building survey doing at short notice after red flags were raised once receiving searches and the sellers paperwork back. Unfortunately Gowers and everyone else I checked with were all booked up for months however Paul took time out of his busy day to speak to me, listen to my situation and provide me with some fantastic advice which I very much appreciate. He is very knowledgeable and the advice given has helped me in the next steps of my house purchase. Thank you again.

We engaged Gowers to carry out a building survey for an old residential property with multiple issues. Paul Gowers was excellent in his response time to our questions and the level of professional reporting. The service we received was reassuring for us and we would certainly use Gowers again.

We recently used Gowers Surveyors for a building project involving the Party Wall Act. It was applicable on both boundaries and Paul acted as Agreed Surveyor on one side and Building Owner Surveyor on the other. The build itself was fairly straight forward, but the Party Wall process was definitely not... Paul is the consummate professional. Knowledgeable, reliable, calm and level headed he always made himself available whether in person or at the end of a phone or email to ourselves and our contractors. The project lasted 8 months and he continued to deliver the highest level of professionalism and advice throughout. Cannot recommend him highly enough!
