Information on Clifton

Clifton is in fact a much older historical place than Bristol dating back to 350BC, but most of the history comes to light from the Domesday Book dating from the 1080s.

In 1686 the Society of Merchant Venturers became the owners of the Manor of Clifton which came with a spring. Due to the ‘healing powers' of the warm water spring that bubbled through the mud in the River Avon a spa was created known as the Bristol Hotwell and high society came to it as part of their annual summer season. As it popularity grew businesses from Bath relocated there to catch the summer trade. New buildings were opened, such as Bristol 's first theatre and the New Vauxhall pleasure gardens and assembly rooms, boasting a “man cook”. Many people who were invalided would come for the healing powers of the spa. The spa declined as quickly as it was founded due to the expiry of the lease in 1785, the merchants not being able to find a tenant had to modernise the spa themselves adding a much higher subscription cost thus making people go elsewhere .

Clifton continued to expand and develop with many wealthy families buying large houses in the area and is home to the second oldest Zoo in Britain and is of course home to the Clifton Suspension Bridge which was finally completed in 1864.

Clifton has been an inspiration to the artistic world because of the spectacular scenery and has drawn many a famous person to live there.

People in the Clifton area have begun to realise the beauty of the place and have bought flats and houses formerly owned by landlords and restored them to their former glory. Structural and Building surveys would have been carried out while these restorations were being carried out, if you would like further advice on these matters our team of Building and Structural Surveyors would be happy to help.

 

Building Survey Clifton

If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Clifton or the surrounding area then we would like to assure you that we always send a suitably qualified and experienced surveyor to carry out the job. This ensures that you get expert advice on any issues that we may find with the property we are surveying. All our surveyors are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors - RICS - and are Independent Building Surveyors. Being 'independent' means that they are working for you and you alone; they do not work for a mortgage company or an estate agents, so they have your best interests at heart.

All our survey contain lots of images, clearly showing any problems that we have identified at the property such as woodworm, rising damp or cracking to the walls. We also use sketches in our survey which are aimed at helping you to understand how certain areas are constructed or to help show more clearly a problem that we have identified. You will also find lots of definitions of any building terminology that we may use in our survey, as we firmly believe in 'Plain English' and really want you to fully understand what we are saying in the survey report.
