Surveyors in
Northamptonshire
Independent property surveyors providing RICS standard home surveys, residential property valuations and building inspections across Northamptonshire.
Whether you are buying a Victorian terrace in Northampton, arranging a probate valuation in Kettering, booking a RICS Level 3 Building Survey on a historic stone cottage near Towcester, investigating damp in a Corby property, or snagging a new build in Wellingborough, our local Northamptonshire surveyors deliver thorough, independent reports in plain English that help you make confident property decisions.
Northamptonshire's property market offers some of the best value in the South East Midlands. From the historic market town character of Northampton, Oundle and Towcester, the industrial heritage and regeneration of Corby and Kettering, to the expanding new build communities around Daventry and Wellingborough, the county's building stock is diverse. Local geology is dominated by Northampton Sand, ironstone, limestone and clay, and our surveyors understand the specific implications of each formation for building foundations, drainage and defect patterns.
Northamptonshire is well connected, with the M1, A14 and direct trains to London Euston making it a popular choice for commuters, families and investors. In our 15 years of surveying across the county, we have inspected stone cottages, period townhouses, traditional estate homes and modern new build developments. Every report we produce is written for you with no ties to estate agents, lenders or contractors.

What Does a Property Surveyor in Northamptonshire Do?
A property surveyor in Northamptonshire inspects residential buildings to assess their condition, identify defects and provide independent professional advice. Our home surveying covers every accessible part of a property, from the roof structure to the foundations and drainage. We look for structural movement, damp ingress, timber decay, roofing defects, subsidence indicators, and overall construction quality.
In our 15 years of surveying property across Northamptonshire, we have inspected the full range of the county's building stock. From the historic sandstone and limestone cottages and townhouses of Towcester, Brackley and Oundle, the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of Northampton, the ironstone villages dotted across the north of the county, the post war housing of Kettering and Wellingborough, the steel framed and system built housing stock of Corby, and the modern new build estates of Daventry and Rushden. Our surveyors understand local construction traditions, the properties of Northampton Sand formation geology, and the defects each era of construction most commonly exhibits.
A property surveyor is not a mortgage valuer. A mortgage valuation is a brief check for the lender only. A surveyor works solely for you and provides an independent, thorough assessment of condition. Across Northamptonshire where property values can range from under £150,000 to well over £1 million, the peace of mind an independent survey brings is the best value protection a buyer or owner can secure.

Learn moreFrequently Asked Questions About Surveyors in Northamptonshire
Clear answers to the questions Northamptonshire property buyers, homeowners and investors ask our surveyors most often.
How much does a home survey cost in Northamptonshire?
A home survey in Northamptonshire costs between £400 and £950 depending on the property size, age and survey level. A RICS Level 2 Home Survey for a typical three bedroom semi detached house in Northampton, Kettering or Wellingborough generally costs from £525 ex VAT. A RICS Level 3 Building Survey for a period property such as a stone cottage near Towcester, a Listed building, or a larger Victorian or Edwardian property in Northampton typically starts from £600 to £950. All quotes are fixed price with no VAT added and no travel surcharges for any Northamptonshire location. We provide a free quote within 24 hours.
Which level of home survey do I need for my Northamptonshire property?
For a modern Northamptonshire property built within the last 20 years and in good condition, a RICS Level 2 Home Survey is usually appropriate. For period properties including stone built cottages, ironstone houses, Victorian townhouses in Northampton, listed buildings, converted barns, homes of unusual construction, or any property you plan to renovate, we recommend a RICS Level 3 Building Survey. Call us on 03300 438471 and a Northamptonshire surveyor will advise the right survey for your specific property.
How quickly can a Northamptonshire surveyor inspect my property?
We typically schedule inspections within 5 to 10 working days of your enquiry, subject to access. Reports are delivered within 5 to 7 working days of the inspection. For urgent cases we can often accommodate earlier appointments. Tell us your deadline when you enquire.
Do your Northamptonshire property surveyors cover my town?

Are your Northamptonshire surveyors RICS qualified?
Yes. All our Northamptonshire surveys are carried out to RICS standards by experienced independent surveyors with over 15 years of combined experience. We work solely for you with no ties to estate agents, lenders or contractors.
When do I need a probate property valuation in Northamptonshire?
A probate valuation is required when someone passes away and their estate includes residential property in Northamptonshire. Our valuers provide RICS Red Book probate valuations accepted by HMRC and the Probate Registry with sensitivity and professionalism.
Can you survey ironstone properties in Northamptonshire?
Yes. Northamptonshire has many ironstone built properties, particularly in the north and east of the county around Corby, Kettering and the surrounding villages. Ironstone construction has specific characteristics and can present particular issues with weathering and mortar deterioration. Our surveyors have extensive experience with ironstone properties and understand the specific survey and maintenance considerations they require.
What is the difference between a surveyor and a mortgage valuer?
A mortgage valuation is a brief valuation check for the lender and does not identify defects or maintenance costs. A surveyor works for you and provides a detailed, independent assessment of the property's condition. In Northamptonshire where the variety of building types and ages is considerable, a surveyor's independent assessment is worth far more than the cost.
