Essential for larger or older properties, or if you’re planning major works in the Gloucestershire region.
Formerly known as a ‘Structural Survey’ this report option is the most comprehensive report and provides you with an in-depth analysis of the property’s condition, including advice on defects, repairs and maintenance options.
Heritage Surveys in Gloucestershire
A detailed report is one of the most valuable tools you can have when buying a Listed Building. It is essential to understand a building's condition and any repairs that need to be made.
Carpenters Heritage Division specialises in the inspection and survey of historic houses. It is staffed by surveyors who have considerable experience in surveying a broad range of historic properties.
Acquiring a historic house is for most people a rewarding and happy experience. For some people, however, the experience can be quite the opposite. Whilst people wish to own a historic house for the right reasons, there are many pitfalls and potential problems which can turn those wishes into a costly mistake. We’re here to help.
RICS Valuations in Gloucestershire
Valuation underpins all property decision making. Whether you’re a national bank, property developer, or a private buyer. Value is important. That’s why you should be very careful about who you consider to do it. You can trust Carpenters to give you the insight you need in a Market Valuation, or a Building Survey.
It can be complex and challenging to reliably establish value, with many variables to consider on a property-by-property basis.
Our reports are clear, unambiguous and well thought through. That’s why lenders will often ask for Carpenters by name!

Why Gloucester is a good place to live:
Steeped in history and culturally diverse, with some innovative regeneration projects underway, Gloucester is home to some lovely architecture and property prices are generally cheaper hear than the nearby Cotswolds and Cheltenham.
Gloucester is in a great location, offering easy access to beautiful surrounding villages including Bourton-on-the-water, Chipping Camden, Painswick, Lower Slaughter and many more.
And within the city itself, there's plenty on offer for culture vultures to enjoy.
Spend an afternoon strolling through Gloucester Cathedral and Museum, Blackfriars Priory and The National Waterways Museum, or take in the ancient 13th century monasteries, Tudor buildings and revamped Victorian docks.
Gloucester Quays has recently undergone a £300 million makeover and is a great place to hang out in the evenings and weekends, with lots of cool cafes, restaurants and stores to enjoy.
What's Gloucester famous for?
Gloucester's 11th century Cathedral is one of the finest medieval buildings in England and is the burial place of King Edward II.
More recently, Harry Potter fans may recognise it from The Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Half Blood Prince: since it was used as a location for filming Hogwarts.
In fact, J K Rowling was born in Yate in Gloucestershire, as was Hollywood actor Simon Pegg.
Beatrix Potter's charming story, The Tailor of Gloucester, was one of the author's favourites from her Peter Rabbit series and was originally inspired by a shop here on Westgate Street.
And finally, canal fans will love the Gloucester Waterways Museum. Set in an old Victorian warehouse, it looks back over 200 years of canals in Britain and features lots of narrow boats, river barges and tugs.
