A Survey Could Save You Thousands
Avoid unexpected problems and costly repairs – a survey carried out by a RICS accredited Chartered Surveyor before you buy will help you understand exactly what you are taking on. There are different levels of survey depending on the amount of detail you need – learn more about our services.

Specialists in Historic Building Surveys

Gowers Surveyors specialise in Historic Building Surveys. If you are thinking of purchasing an old house, listed building or period property, our comprehensive Survey Report will provide all the advice you need to make an informed and confident decision. We will explain how an old building works, what you can and can’t do to a listed building, how your house needs to ‘breathe’ and why it probably doesn’t need a damp proof course.

Drawn up by expert Building Surveyors, the Report is designed to help you purchase the house of your dreams – thoroughly informed, eyes wide open and fully aware of what you are about to take on.

A Passion For Quality

Buying a property can be a stressful experience, which is why you need professional advice from experienced Chartered Surveyors to explain exactly what you are taking on, without being put off by jargon or caveats. With the right information at your disposal, you can budget properly and proceed with your purchase, fully informed, at the right price.

Gowers Surveyors offers comprehensive survey reports and will talk you through your plans and any concerns before and after the inspection. This allows us to put any issues into context, so you know what needs doing and when. Our aim is to help you buy the house, rather than put you off unnecessarily.

At Gowers Surveyors, we thrive on going the extra mile. Feel free to ask us anything or discuss your plans for the property with our surveyors, whether before or after the survey, and even after you’ve moved in.

Why do I need a survey?

For most of us, houses are complicated and expensive things to buy. There are lots of different elements to take into account, and if things go wrong it can cost thousands to put them right. Purchasing a property may well be the biggest investment you ever make. That’s why it’s so important that, before you buy, you need to know exactly what you are taking on.

A professional survey carried out by a firm of Chartered Surveyors or Building Surveyors will tell you whether there are any issues with the building that need attention and whether you are paying the right price.

Doesn’t the mortgage company sort out a survey?

As any responsible lender will tell you, a Mortgage Valuation is not a survey. Instead, it is a brief inspection of the property to tell the lender whether it is safe to approve the mortgage. Even if problems are detected with the building, they won’t necessarily be mentioned if they don’t affect the security of the investment. For your own peace of mind, every house purchase should be accompanied by a proper survey carried out by an experienced firm of Chartered Surveyors.
