Cotswolds Building Surveyors

Building Surveyors in the Cotswolds

Buying a home in the picturesque Cotswolds is an exciting step, but it’s also one that comes with important decisions. Whether you’re looking at a charming stone cottage, a converted barn, or a newer property, having a detailed building survey carried out by trusted professionals is essential.

At Cornerstone Surveyors, we specialise in providing clear, reliable property surveys across the Cotswolds. Our goal is to give you confidence in your purchase by helping you understand the true condition of your potential new home.

Our team of experienced local surveyors provide both RICS Level 2 Building Surveys and RICS Level 3 Building Surveys, ensuring you get the correct level of insight for your property type.

RICS Level 2 Home Survey in the Cotswolds

A RICS Level 2 building survey is a great choice if you’re purchasing a relatively modern property that appears to be in good condition.

With our Level 2 surveys, you can expect:

• A clear overview of the property’s condition – including visible defects such as damp, structural cracks, and roofing issues.
• Practical advice on repairs – including recommended next steps for any concerns we uncover.
• A review of key systems – electrics, plumbing, drainage, and insulation is all checked where visible.

This survey is designed to be concise and easy to understand, giving you the information you need to proceed with confidence.

RICS Level 3 Building Survey for Cotswolds Properties

The Cotswolds are known for their beautiful period homes, listed buildings, and unique architecture. If you’re purchasing an older property or one that’s been extensively altered, a Level 3 survey is the most comprehensive option available.

Our Level 3 surveys include:

• A thorough inspection inside and out – including roof spaces, floors, and other hidden areas.
• Detailed reporting on structural condition – covering issues like subsidence, damp penetration, timber decay, and roof defects.
• Guidance on repairs, maintenance, and future costs – helping you plan ahead for renovations or ongoing upkeep.
• Special considerations for listed and historic buildings – including potential planning and conservation implications.
• High-quality photographs – to clearly show any concerns we identify.

This survey is ideal for Cotswold cottages, Georgian townhouses, farmhouses, and unique rural properties. It’s a worthwhile investment to protect you from costly surprises later.
