RICS Building Surveyors in Warwick
Allcott Associates has its roots in Warwickshire, with our head office and many of our surveyors based in and around the county. Surveying Warwick properties is always a pleasure; the fantastic preservation of so many historic buildings, and the sympathetic development of new homes, makes this a captivating area to work in.
The majority of our RICS building surveys in Warwick are Level 3 – the most detailed level of home survey. This is because so many of the properties are historic or listed, and so there is a significant benefit to getting a thorough, comprehensive assessment that is completely tailored to the individual property.
Crucially, a Level 3 survey also includes detailed advice on repairs, maintenance and associated costs. When working with a period property, using the correct materials and methods is critical for maintaining it in good condition, and our clients find the advice in their survey reports invaluable for making the most of their property, and for negotiating with vendors in cases where extensive works are required. We also carry out surveys on behalf of vendors in Warwick, to help them prepare for market and ensure a smooth sale.
For modern builds on the newer developments, clients may wish to consider a briefer Level 2 survey. These are a good option for properties built within the past couple of decades, and will identify any serious issues that could affect the useability, safety or value of the property.
This fascinating detached house in the Oxhill area is a great example of a Level 3 survey of a heritage property with modern additions.
The original part of the house was thought to be over half a millenium old, having been built around 1500. As with so many properties of that age, there had of course been numerous adaptations and additions made over the years, with the most recent being a 21st century addition of an oak-framed garden room.
The historic parts of the building were constructed with historic timber frame and solid brickwork. Our expertise in these historic building methods allows our Warwick surveyors to provide detailed assessments of the condition of such elements, as well as advice on their proper maintenance.
Warwickshire is home to many beautiful rural homes, and this farmhouse was no exception. As with the previous property, it dated back to the 16th century, but had modern additions, meaning our surveyor was considering several different construction types when assessing the building.
As with many Warwick properties, this survey also covered several barns and outbuildings, as well as an overview of the condition of its facilities, which included a swimming pool.
Traditional buildings like this one often have solid floors, and so your surveyor needs to have an in depth understanding of how these function within a home, in terms of keeping them in a good state of repair and avoiding issues with damp.
This manor house survey was exceptional, with five stories and a two-storey annexe.
With any property this size, there will always be a substantial list of repair and maintenance requirements, and it is vital to get an understaning of the extent of these before taking on a house like this.
This property had been built using the local ashlar sandstone. The stonework incorporated some stunning features, including turreted walls and decorative banding. For properties of this size, our surveyors use drones whenever possible to get a close look at upper levels and roofs, to properly assess their condition.
