Company details

  1. Chartered Surveyor

Written by the company

We are the largest regional practice of Chartered Surveyors. With five full time Chartered Surveyors, two highly regarded specialist consultants and a team of five in administration. Many surveyors work alone. Our surveyors have instead chosen to be part of a team because we know the value of specialisation and a constant exchange of professional views. We are believers in Life-Long Learning and meet twice a month to share information on values, changes in the law, new building techniques and materials. This is a very real difference that we pass on in our survey reports to our clients. We are regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Faculty of Party Wall Surveyors. If your survey includes a valuation, this will be done by a Registered Valuer. Range of services Our surveyors are predominantly BUILDING SURVEYORS and residential PROPERTY VALUERS. Much of our daily work is Residential Property either diagnosing defects, advising buyers with House and Flat Purchase Surveys and Valuations or property undergoing major refurbishment or building work. We also have a range of services for Commercial Property, including Schedules, specifications, special Condition Reports and of course full Building Surveys.

Efficient with clear useful reports
Used 5 years ago when buying my flat, report was very useful so used again now for purchase of a house. Arranged to attend very quickly. Report covered all areas including getting on three story roof and noted several issues that would need fixing and used to negotiate on the price. So helpful.

We’ll be sure to pass your comments on to Kate, your surveyor as well. Wishing you all the best with your new home.

A very professional service

Woodwards were very obliging when I had to rearrange the timing of the survey at short notice.
The final report was comprehensive, very detailed and well presented giving clear information and advice.
I would recommend them.

A good straight forward with constructive advise on certain areas which need attention however I would have liked this to be prioritised in terms of what the surveyor should be done asap.
Otherwise a very good report and easy to understand.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re pleased to hear that you found the report clear, straightforward, and helpful.

We appreciate your feedback regarding prioritisation of the recommendations. The report highlights that any Further Investigation items listed in section 6 should be undertaken before the exchange of contracts or any legal commitment to purchase, and this is also noted on page 3 for clarity. We understand how useful it can be to have a clearer sense of priority, and we will look at how we can emphasise this even further in future reports.

If you would like us to talk you through the findings or clarify which items should be dealt with first, we would be more than happy to help. Please feel free to get in touch with us directly.
