Getting a Survey in Blackburn
Blackburn is an industrial town and the administrative centre of the Blackburn with Darwen borough in Lancashire, England.
The town is north of the West Pennine Moors on the southern edge of the Ribble Valley, 8 mi (13 km) east of Preston and 21 mi (34 km) north-northwest of Manchester.
Blackburn is the core centre of the wider unitary authority area along with the town of Darwen. It is the second largest town (after Blackpool) in Lancashire.
Located in the midst of the East Lancashire Hills, some areas of the town are characterised by steep slopes. The town centre centres in a plain of 91–110 m (299–361 ft) above sea level surrounded by hills.
The geology of the Blackburn area yields numerous resources which underpinned its development as a centre of manufacturing during the Industrial Revolution. Mineable coal seams have been used since the mid-late 16th century.
Blackburn Cathedral was formerly St Mary’s Parish Church. It was reconsecrated in 1826 on the site of a previous church that had stood for several hundred years. In 1926 the Diocese of Blackburn was created and the church gained
cathedral status.
Blackburn’s statue of Queen Victoria stands next to the cathedral grounds overlooking the Cathedral Square. Victoria’s fourth daughter, Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, unveiled the statue on 30 September 1905.
The construction of Blackburn’s original, Italian Renaissance style Town Hall was completed in 1856 at a cost of £35,000, equivalent to about £1.5 million as at 2008. The architect was James Paterson and the contractors were
Richard Hacking and William Stones. It originally housed a police station with 18 cells, a large assembly room, and a council chamber.
Blackburn has property and buildings of all shapes and sizes with varying age and styles, and when you need a survey, you can be assured our expert team of Blackburn RICS Chartered Surveyors are here to help you.

Common Survey QUESTIONS in BLACKBURN
Firstly, it is important to remember that if you are getting a mortgage, the lender’s valuation is not a survey.
The main purpose of a mortgage lender’s valuation is to confirm the mortgage offer and may only briefly mention defects that affect the property as security for the mortgage loan.
Buying a home in Blackburn might be one of the most expensive and biggest decisions you will ever have to make, and it is key to remember the importance of getting a survey.
A survey carried out by a qualified RICS surveyor can help highlight any problems or defects with the property that may not be immediately obvious when viewing your new dream home.
Normally, once you have had your offer on the prospective property accepted you should book a home survey.
Remember it is a good idea to book the survey as soon as possible once your offer has been accepted, in order to understand what condition, the property is in before you fully commit to purchase.
This will also help you to understand whether the price you’re paying for the property is reasonable and, if not, you can look into potentially renegotiating the sale price.
Usually, we aim to deliver all reports within five working days, inline with our terms and conditions.
Our timescales allow for surveyors to reflect, and provide a detailed and comprehensive survey report, going through internal audit, in order to provide you with a professionally high level of service to help assist you in making an informed decision.
We keep you fully up to date with the progress of your survey, and you can also track the progress via your client account.
We also offer a fast-track service for when you are in need of a quicker turn-around.

Yes, you can get an RICS Home Survey done on your own property.
This can often be a useful tool when it comes to selling your home. It can provide you with an insightful assessment of the condition of your property, and can provide you with details on any defects or maintenance issues that may need addressing.
This can help you decide whether or not you should make improvements before you sell, and give you the knowledge of any defects that may be present which could be highlighted during the sale and cause a delay.
You can get a survey on your property at any time. If you have particular concerns or are just curious about the condition, it could be a good idea.
