As Chartered Building Surveyors we understand that buying a traditional or listed building is a big investment and that the extent of work that could be required will be daunting.

We offer pre-purchase heritage advice which can include inspection and review of issues, discussing your aspirations for the property and their viability along with identifying any remedial works which may be required and need to be budgeted for. This can be through homebuyer survey, level 3 survey or a custom reporting method suited to your needs.

Whether a first-time buyer or already on the property ladder we understand that buying a new home is an exciting time and a big investment for you.  At Evans & James we are Chartered Building Surveyors offering both Home Buyers Surveys and Full Building Surveys to enable you to ensure that you are entering the purchase of your home either reassured or fully informed about any future investment required in the remediation or maintenance of your new home.

Contact Evans & James today for Chartered Building Surveyors to support you through your surveys.


Alterations

Whether you are the owner of a single home or a portfolio of residential assets, as Chartered Building Surveyors we are experienced in helping property owners maximise the potential of your property.

At Evans & James we can work with you from inception, developing options designs all the way through to completion and management of the works on site.  We can prepare simple drawings or detailed specifications, and manage the tender process to ensure that you get the best contractor for the job.

If you happen to live in a conservation area or in a listed building we have vast experience in successfully developing schemes that have gained consent.  We can prepare all of the necessary documentation for submission to the local authority and liaise with any other parties that may have an interest in the proposed works.

We understand that any alterations will be a big investment for you and we will ensure that we work with you developing a scheme that meets your budget requirements but to the best quality that can be achieved.

If your property is listed, within the curtilage of a listed building or is in a conservation area, we can prepare the necessary documentation for submission to the local authority.
