About Gowers Surveyors

Established by Chartered Surveyor, Registered Valuer and Chartered Building Engineer Paul Gowers. Gowers Surveyors have built up an established relationship based on reliability and mutual trust in providing clients with unbiased and detailed reports. Being a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, Paul utilises a wealth of experience from over 20 years of work in the Surveying field, Paul incorporates his experience into every project we undertake, making sure that we offer our clients a professional, honest service that is suited to meet their specific needs.

A Mortgage Valuation is often required when purchasing a property, however, this only serves as a brief report which makes sure that the property in question provides enough security for the bank to lend upon. In this situation, a Mortgage Valuation is solely for the benefit of the lender and does not go into any detail regarding the condition of the property for you, the purchaser. Therefore it is essential that a more detailed survey is conducted in order to potentially save property purchaser thousands of pounds on repairs and renovations that the property may be required in the not too distant future.

As a home is potentially one of the most important investments you can make in your lifetime, it’s important that you have all the information regarding the condition of the property including any immediate or potential problems with the building, this will enable you to negotiate the price of the property, incorporating any work that may be required. It is are far better resolving them at this early stage as opposed to later down the line when they become a real issue.

Services We Offer

Gowers offer a range of different survey services including comprehensive building surveys, RICS Condition reports and RICS Homebuyer Reports and we will happily answer any questions you may have about the services we offer.  When purchasing a new home you may be required to request a Mortgage Valuation, however this is just a brief survey and will not outline any major potential problems with the property.

Gowers Surveyors offer a range of in depth and comprehensive surveys that will outline any and all potential problems within the property which will provide you with an idea of what may need to be done to repair any damages should you choose to go ahead with the purchase. We also offer a variety of other property related services for residential, commercial and even industrial properties and as we are not affiliated with any lenders of estate agents we offer completely impartial and unbiased advice and assistance. We focus on giving you complete peace of mind about your new property, using an experienced team of surveyors.

A RICS Condition Report for example, is a report designed to give you a general assessment of the condition of the property, making it the perfect way to establish whether or not the property has anything seriously wrong with it before you choose to make the final purchase. A RICS HomeBuyer Report is very much the same style of report, however it goes into far more depth regarding the condition of the property as well as looking at all visible and accessible areas and paying close attention to potential problem areas for issues such as damp, mould, rot and even asbestos. Our Comprehensive Building Survey is the most detailed survey available; this report will go into fine detail regarding every aspect of the property including the structural integrity of the building.

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!
