We carry out residential structural surveys and commercial surveys in York. York is a town which is situated in North Yorkshire.
York is situated to the east of the A1 and west of Bridlington and Scarborough and is the capital of Yorkshire and one of the great cities of medieval England. York is a city we love working in and enjoy carrying out building surveys and property reports. The city still has the ancient walls surrounding it and is dominated by the soaring pinnacles of York Minster, a Gothic church which is said to be the finest in Europe . It has narrow streets, lively cafes and lots of specialist shops, museums, (most notably the National Railway Museum , the largest railway museum in the world) and galleries.
York started as a fortress in AD71 built by the Romans 9 th Legion and grew into an important city becoming a vital centre of government, commerce and religion in the north of England .
The building of the Minster started in the early 13 th century and took at least 250 years to complete. It was not until the 18 th century that York became the place to live and visit with its architectural and historical attractions.
In the following century a new era of prosperity and growth began with the start of the industrial revolution and the coming of the railway.
If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in York 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.
