Getting a Survey in Chester

Chester is a walled city in Cheshire, England, on the River Dee, close to the border with Wales.

With a population of 81,340 in 2014, it is the most populous settlement of Cheshire West and Chester, which had a population of 332,200 in 2014. Chester was granted city status in 1541.

Chester was founded as a “castrum” or Roman fort with the name Deva Victrix in the reign of the Emperor Vespasian in 79 AD. In 689, King Æthelred of Mercia founded the Minster Church of West Mercia, which later became Chester’s first cathedral, and the Saxons extended and strengthened the walls to protect the city against the Danes.

Chester is one of the best preserved walled cities in Britain. It has a number of medieval buildings, but some of the black-and-white buildings within the city centre are Victorian restorations.

Apart from a 100-metre (330 ft) section, the listed Grade I walls are almost complete. The Industrial Revolution brought railways, canals, and new roads to the city, which saw substantial expansion and development – Chester Town Hall and the Grosvenor Museum are examples of Victorian architecture from this period.

During it time as a market town, there was much domestic building, including the creation of the Chester Rows, where there are two levels of pedestrian walkway, one at street level, and one at a higher level under cover.

During the Civil War period many buildings in Chester got damage, however, the city prospered and, despite the closing of the port due to silting of the river, there was much building and rebuilding during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Initially the new buildings were timber-framed and later they were in local sandstone or brick, and sections of the rows were enclosed and incorporated into some of the buildings.

There are many buildings in the town which have retained medieval fabric, some in small amounts, and others with more substantial material. There are timber-framed buildings, and timber-framed buildings that were later encased in brick.

Chester 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 Chester RICS Chartered Surveyors are here to help you.

Common Survey QUESTIONS in CHESTER

Do I need a survey buying a house in Chester?

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 Chester 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.

When should I arrange a home survey?

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.

How long will it take to receive the survey report?

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.

For more information about turnaround times, feel free to get in contact. We’ll always do our best to meet our customer’s needs.

Can I get a Home Survey on my own property?

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.
