Are you thinking of buying a listed building?

When purchasing, it's crucial to know that any unauthorised alterations or extensions carried out by previous owners become the new owners' responsibility. If unauthorised work is discovered, you could face fines and be required to cover the cost of any necessary repairs. Uncovering such work can significantly impact the early discussions surrounding the property's price, making it essential to be vigilant during purchasing.

We can also provide guidance and advice on any future changes or extensions you may wish to make, and where plans may not be feasible, we can suggest alternative solutions. Our deep knowledge of the legislation around listed buildings means the insights provided during surveys are of great value.

We also undertake measured building surveys to prepare scale drawings of your property. This helps us get to know your building and saves our clients significant costs over hiring separate surveyors. We use the latest technology to drive efficiency:

• 3d laser scanning to produce point cloud surveys,
• Drones for inspection and monitoring,
• Precise colour matching of historical materials and colours, and,
• Damp monitoring.

Say goodbye to costly and time-consuming traditional methods. We understand that keeping things in-house keeps the costs down for you.
