Which survey is right for my Thame property?
For modern and post-war Thame homes that appear to be in reasonable condition, a RICS Level 2 Home Survey is usually sufficient. For period properties — timber-framed buildings on the High Street, Georgian townhouses, 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 timber-framed and listed buildings in Thame?
Yes. Thame has a rich historic high street with many timber-framed buildings dating from the 15th to 17th centuries, alongside fine Georgian and Victorian townhouses. Our surveyors understand traditional oak frame construction, wattle and daub infill, lime plaster and the common defects — including timber decay, woodworm and structural movement — that affect these historic properties.
What areas of Thame do you cover?
We cover the entire Thame area including the historic town centre, Priestend, Lea Park, the High Street, North Street and all Thame suburbs. We also cover the surrounding villages including Long Crendon, Haddenham, Chinnor, Towersey and Brill.
How quickly can I get a survey report?
We aim to schedule your Thame 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.
