Which survey is right for my Cambridge property?
For modern and post-war Cambridge homes that appear to be in reasonable condition, a RICS Level 2 Home Survey is usually sufficient. For period properties — Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces in Petersfield and Romsey, or listed buildings — we strongly recommend the more detailed Level 3 Building Survey. If you are unsure, call us with the property details and we will advise at no charge.
Do you cover listed buildings and college properties in Cambridge?
Yes. Our surveyors have extensive experience with Cambridge's many listed buildings, from Grade I college buildings to Grade II townhouses. We understand traditional construction methods, the regulatory requirements for listed building repairs, and the common defects that affect historic Cambridge properties.
What areas of Cambridge do you cover?
We cover the entire city including the city centre, Chesterton, Petersfield, Romsey, Cherry Hinton, Trumpington, Newnham, Arbury, King's Hedges, and all Cambridge suburbs. We also cover the surrounding villages including Grantchester, Girton, Milton, Histon, Impington and Fulbourn.
How quickly can I get a survey report?
We aim to schedule your Cambridge survey within 5 to 10 working days and deliver the report within 5 working days of inspection. For urgent cases with tight exchange deadlines, we can often provide a same-day verbal summary of key findings.
