The Importance of a Survey
It is normally a requirement to have a Mortgage Valuation when making an offer on a property, however it is commonly misconstrued that the Mortgage Valuation provides information as to the condition of the property in question. In reality a Mortgage Valuation serves only as a brief report designed to show that the property in question provides enough financial security for the bank to safely lend upon. It is conducted purely for the benefit of the lender and as such the buyer may never even see the Mortgage Valuation.
A Comprehensive Building Survey provided by Gowers Surveyors consists of a thoroughly detailed analysis of the property in its entirety, including the foundations, construction and overall structure of the property. The survey also looks at roofing, wiring, plumbing, potential damp spots and all visible and accessible elements of the property. The survey will highlight any immediate or problematic defects present within the property, providing advice on how these defects may be amended. Some reports will also provide detailed photographs and an approximation of the costs needed to conduct these reparations.
Purchasing a property of any type is often considered to be one of the most important investments we can make in our lifetime. Therefore a professional surveyor will always recommend a more in depth report is conducted, so as to avoid any nasty surprises later on in the purchase, where reparations and renovations are needed.

Client Testimonials
Ben Green24 May 2023Having 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!
James Marron19 May 2023I could not recommend Paul Gowers highly enough. Excellent service and a very comprehensive, clear report. An extremely knowledgeable and helpful professional.
Brian Scull15 September 2021I 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.
Cameron Bauldry7 July 2021I 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.
Neil Crees18 March 2021The value of using Paul, a local well known professional, was huge. I received immediate personal feedback allowing me to take timely action to avoid what could have been an expensive mistake.
Sam Paul10 December 2019We 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.
Mandy Ingram6 June 2018We 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!
