Which survey is right for my Kidlington property?
For modern and post-war Kidlington homes on the large housing estates that appear to be in reasonable condition, a RICS Level 2 Home Survey is usually sufficient. For older properties — traditional stone-built cottages, Victorian terraces, or properties in the old village centre — 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 the older village centre properties in Kidlington?
Yes. Kidlington retains a historic village core around the parish church with traditional stone and brick-built cottages, some dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. Our surveyors understand traditional construction methods and the common defects that affect older village properties, including lime mortar deterioration, timber decay and structural movement.
What areas of Kidlington do you cover?
We cover the entire Kidlington area including the old village centre, the post-war housing estates, newer developments off the Bicester and Oxford roads, and the surrounding hamlets. We also cover nearby villages including Yarnton, Begbroke, Hampton Poyle and Hampton Gay.
