Building surveyors & Property Valuations

A standard property valuation arranged by a prospective lender is not a survey. It won’t identify any current or potential problems with a property, such as damp, window frame decay, roof problems, pest infestations, subsidence or building cracks.

For a reasonable price, commission one of our experienced building surveyors to conduct a thorough survey on your behalf and avoid any hidden headaches.

If necessary, we can help negotiate a reduction in the property’s price to fix any underlying problems. Our building surveyors help you to make informed decisions about a property.

“Really great service from start to finish - very straight forward and efficient booking procedures for arranging the survey which was conducted in very good time. We received the report on the day of the survey and the day after I was able to speak directly to Paul who conducted the survey. He was very helpful and didn’t make us feel like we were wasting his time or asking silly questions. We were recommended by friends who had used Charters-Reid and we would certainly be recommending them ourselves.”

ANNA

“Excellent service. The process of "ordering" the survey was very easy, in fact all I did was call. Charters-Reid did all of the running around to book it in which was a welcome relief when you're trying to arrange other things. Making payment was very easy using the online portal (other methods also available) and contact was always efficient and timely. The survey went ahead without a hitch and the report that was produced was easy to read, full of photographic evidence and covered all areas. We would definitely use them again should we need to.”

SARA ROBERTS

“Our survey was produced efficiently, quickly and very thoroughly indeed... All staff from administrative to surveyor gave a very high level of service. Would not hesitate to use Charters-Reid Surveyors Ltd again in the future.”

"Right To Buy" and Shared Ownership Valuations

Tenants in social housing can often buy their properties from the local authority or housing association.

Matrimonial

Disputes over shared assets can be expensive to resolve at court. Save time and money with a valuation report from an experienced building surveyor. Providing a valuation document in court can assist in obtaining a favourable judgement.

Valuations are different from other types of home surveys because the property value is determined by location, current condition, size, and circumstance.

A chartered surveyor has to consider many factors when valuing a property. These factors range from the building’s age and architecture to local politics and patterns in the countrywide housing market.

Given the county’s rich history and the great age of some of its buildings, Yorkshire property valuations often pay special attention to the property’s condition and historical significance. On one hand, a failing structure can reduce a property’s price, while on the other, a rich history and compelling character can add extraordinary value.
