About Gowers Surveyors

Gowers Surveyors was founded by Paul Gowers, a Chartered Surveyor, Registered Valuer and Chartered Building Engineer with a wealth of experience conducting detailed reports for a range of property types. Having worked in the field for over 20 years Paul has incorporated a wealth of experience into every project we do, ensuring that we offer our clients an honest and professional service, whatever their needs.

Mortgage providers do not insist on an in depth survey, instead only require a Mortgage Valuation to ensure that a property meets the prerequisite checks needed to be able to lend the money. In short; a mortgage valuation is for the benefit of the lender and not you as the property owner. However as a property purchase is likely to be the biggest financial commitment you make in your life, it pays dividends to get a more detailed survey carried out by an independent chartered surveyor who has your best interests as a priority.

We have considerable experience surveying all property types, from smaller rural and urban homes to large country manor houses, and we pride ourselves on going that extra mile to ensure that you have all the necessary information you need. We also have extensive experience in surveying and valuing commercial premises throughout Bourne, so if you are looking for commercial premises we are also able to advise you on the best form of action for your business, taking the local geography into account when assessing your property.

  Absolutely phenomenal! Paul completed a level 3 historic building survey on a large barn conversion for me. I honestly don't think I have ever been more impressed by any proffessional in any field! I was told by the estate agent that he has a reputation for providing next level detail... and that proved to be correct! His knowledge and wisdom are extraordinary. The report (supplied both in pdf and very impressive bound hardcover book) was 132 pages. It included very relevant advice about how to care for the building, adjusted to the specific context. But 75% of the content was describing the condition of the building and what work was necessary to rectify defects. The report was easy to read and written in plain English and with photos to illustrate. Both before and after the survey, I spoke at length with Paul on the phone - he was very patient with all my silly questions! We haven't yet decided if we are going to progress with this purchase, but I can certainly say that if we pursue another house instead, I won't use anyone other than Paul to survey it!

  If you are looking for an excellent, knowledgeable and helpful surveyor I wouldn't look any further! I researched the local market and Paul's name came up a number of times; I then spoke to his office (Catherine who is also great) and arranged a pre-survey meeting. Form that point on it has been seamless.  I've bought 15+ houses and Paul is by far the best and most comprehensive surveyor I have used. You get what you pay for - I bought a grade II listed house and that's his sweet spot, so if you want to know a great deal about the house, what works are needed (and ideas on costs & recommendations) and also how to care for it afterwards, Paul is an excellent choice. Highly recommended.

  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!

Buying a new house or commercial premises can be a time consuming and taxing experience for many of us, which is why Gowers Surveyors focus on offering unbiased advice and assistance in order to ensure that you get complete peace of mind about your new property and avoid costly problems that may appear further down the line.

A RICS Condition Report is designed to give you a general assessment of the condition of a property and is an ideal way to establish whether or not there are any serious defects in a property before you proceed with the purchase. A RICS HomeBuyer Report works in very much the same way, however it is more in depth with regards to potential problem area within the property. It follows a careful survey of all visible and accessible areas of the property, focusing on immediate and urgent problem areas that may prove expensive to repair. The HomeBuyer report also includes an assessment of the Market Value of the property which you can use to negotiate the price of the property should you wish to dispute the price. Both the RICS HomeBuyer Report and RICS Condition Report will save you time and money, giving you the tools you need in order to negotiate the price of the property in question.
