Gowers Surveyors are an independent firm of Chartered Surveyors in Cambridge. We have considerable experience in surveying all kinds of properties – from new build homes to large country houses and everything in between. We take great pride in providing accurate, detailed and competitively priced building surveys on homes and properties in and around Cambridgeshire.

Cambridge is known for its university, one of the best and oldest places of learning in the world. The grandeur of the architecture is impressive, making it the envy of many cities around the globe. Not surprisingly, property prices in Cambridge are comparatively high, and the housing market – both for buying and renting – is fast-moving. Only 50 miles from London, it is easily commutable by train.

Our Services

At Gowers Surveyors, our building surveyors offer the full range of surveying services to property owners and home buyers in Cambridge including RICS Level 3 Survey, period building surveys and party wall surveys. As members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, we provide RICS Level 1 Survey, RICS Level 2 Survey and Building Surveys, and are happy to advise on the most appropriate type of survey for your property.

Whichever level of home survey you choose, you can rest assured of our professionalism and skill to provide you with the best information and support for your planned purchase or building project.

RICS Level 3 Survey

Formerly known as a Full Structural Survey, the Building Survey is an extensive non-invasive inspection and detailed report designed to give you the best possible advice on the condition of the property including any defects and necessary repairs. This type of survey is most suitable for older and larger properties, or those that have undergone major alterations.

RICS Level 2 Survey

Easily the most popular survey among home buyers, the HomeBuyer Report is based on a mid-level investigation of visible and accessible building elements to provide you with a good knowledge of the property’s condition, highlighting urgent defects or issues that need immediate attention. Modern properties of standard construction are most suited to this type of survey.

RICS Level 1 Survey

The Condition Report is a basic building survey, designed to give a clear and concise assessment of the property’s condition at the time of inspection, including a summary of the key risks associated with the current state of repair. The report provides an overview to help purchasers understand what they are buying including any urgent defects that may need to be addressed before contracts are exchanged.

  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!
